For those of you still using the MOBI file format, please note the following from Kindle:
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

Conformance status

Additional accessibility considerations
Please be aware our efforts are ongoing as we strive to implement all accessibility requirements to meet WCAG guidelines. This will also take place when the technology used in construction of this store allows for this.
THE PAPER SPARROW is committed to providing an online store that is accessible to the widest potential audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to comply with all applicable standards. However, there are things out of our control. Our website may link to, or interface with, third-party websites. These third-party vendors may not have undertaken the efforts to make their site compliant with the latest version of WCAG 2.1.
