The decision of Amazon to support EPUB and drop MOBI is a welcome change that brings on the standardization of ebook file formats based on a universal and open standard. But this change won’t affect the old MOBI files on your kindle. Amazon will soon depreciate MOBI ( and also its own proprietary format, AWZ) starting from the late of this year ( 2022), one will no longer be allowed to send files for these two formats to Kindle. MOBI, on the other hand, is mainly used by Amazon Kindle only. Make sure to put Email title Convert, when attaching ePub files to be emailed to your sent-to-Kindle email as screen below:ĮPUB is actually the dominant ebook format, used by other software eReaders platforms such as Google Play, KOBO, Apple Books and others.
