Once these changes are firmly in place, they will mark the official end of the MOBI file, as there is no other reason why you would need a MOBI file anymore. It was announced that, beginning in late 2022, MOBI would not only be discontinued when self-publishing your book through the KDP marketplace, but that side-loaded books would also not support MOBI.Īdditionally, the changes specified that EPUB books would also be available to side-load onto your Kindle, in addition to all other supported formats. In April 2022, Amazon announced the final nail in MOBI's coffin. April 2022: Amazon Announces EPUB “Send to Kindle” Support + Removing MOBI In order to side-load an ebook file that you did not buy in the Kindle Store onto your Kindle, such as a reader magnet or advanced reader copy, you still had to have a MOBI file.
This was huge news, as the MOBI file had been a huge staple of the KDP ebook-uploading process. Later, in June 2021, Amazon sent out emails to authors letting them know that when uploading new and updated books to KDP, they would not be using MOBI files, and instead recommended EPUB. June 2021: Amazon KDP Completely Switches to EPUB You could still upload MOBI files at this time, but the introduction of the EPUB file format (the most popular file format everywhere but Amazon up to that point) was a huge step forward. It was at this point that Amazon stated, “We recommend using EPUB format for publishing new books and updating previously published titles.” Our first inclination that Amazon KDP was phasing out the MOBI file and introducing the EPUB came in November 2020.
