Final Reminder: Send to Kindle Will No Longer Support MOBI File Formats
Dear Kindle Customer,
Thank you for using the Send to Kindle service to send your documents to your Kindle. This is a final reminder that on November 1, 2023, we will start winding down support for sending MOBI (.mobi, .azw, .prc) files through Send to Kindle. This change will impact sending MOBI files through Send to Kindle for Email, Kindle apps on iOS and Android, and Send to Kindle apps for Windows and Mac. We will end all Send to Kindle support for MOBI files by December 20, 2023. MOBI documents already in your Kindle library and other document formats will not be affected by this change.
MOBI is an older file format and does not support the latest Kindle features for documents. If you wish to enjoy our most up-to-date document features, please re-send files in a compatible format. EPUB (.epub) is one such compatible format, and you can send it to your library from the Send to Kindle web app.
If you have any questions, please visit our help page or contact our Customer Service team. By downloading or using Send to Kindle, you agree to the terms here.
Regards,
The Kindle team

- rammer 3y agois this the normal epub or does kindle have their own DRM controlled version of Epub ?
- c0balt 3y agoMobi is a bit like epub, in that it supports standard HTML but it is propietary and contains some DRM. Amazon bought the company making the mobi format sometime around 2005. It has since been succeded for Amazon by more DRM heavy formats and epub.
- 2rsf 3y agoThey have been sending those for a while, usually it's not a big issue as you can find or convert files in most formats.
