2023. Send to Kindle is losing MOBI support



Amazon announced it is discontinuing support for the "Send to Kindle" feature for MOBI, AZW and PRC formats. Books in these formats that are already on your Kindle will still be available, but the new files will not be received. You can now only upload AZW, MOBI and PRC e-books using file manager on PC or Mac via USB. MOBI is one of the most popular Kindle book formats worldwide and many free websites, such as Project Gutenberg, support it exclusively. Apparently, Amazon wants users to forget about MOBI and especially about free books. Amazon Kindles also don't display high-definition fonts in MOBI like it does in paid AZW3 books.
