    I thought they disabled sending mobi files last August? As in, August 2022? Did they postpone it?

      Yeah I remember running into an issue when I tried updating my library last time. Not sure why this is making headlines now, because I haven’t been able to use mobi files in over a year.

        Maybe different devices have different EOL dates?
