In a recent communication, Amazon has alerted Kindle users about significant changes set to take effect from next month. The notification pertains to the phasing out of support for sending MOBI (.mobi, .azw, .prc) files through the “Send to Kindle” feature, starting November 1, 2023. This change, as News18 pointed out, specifically impacts users attempting to send MOBI files via email and Kindle apps on iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac.

The devices themselves still can’t process epub though so they still need conversion to … mobi.

They can use epubs for several months now. It's been incredibly nice but to have to convert books anymore.

Older devices too? I still have a Kindle Voyage.

Not natively? You mean through the epub to kindle service?

Several months seems like a really short time frame to go from "the format you must use" to "too old for our product."
