Amazon has started sending out emails to customers with a “Final Reminder” about how their Send to Kindle service will no longer support MOBI file formats (.AZW, .MOBI, .PRC) starting later this year.

No New Kindles Announced at Amazon’s Hardware Event
Today Amazon unveiled a bunch of new products at their annual hardware event, including several new Echo devices, some new security cameras, a new Fire TV stick, among other things, but there weren’t any new Kindle products or services mentioned at all.

Kindle Scribe on Sale for Prime Members, Up to $90 off

There’s a slim chance that […]

Kindle Scribe Now Uses MTP Instead of USB Mass Storage After Update
Amazon released a software update for Kindle ereaders earlier this week, and like usual their release notes don’t provide any useful information whatsoever, but it turns out there’s a major change with the update that affects how the Kindle Scribe connects with computers. With firmware version 5.16.3, the Kindle Scribe now uses MTP (Media Transfer […]
Kindle Software Update 5.16.3 Released; Older Kindles No Longer Getting Updates?
Amazon has released another software update for Kindle ereaders, but for some reason it’s not available for all the models that updates are usually available for, at least not yet. This is the second Kindle update that Amazon has released this month, which is highly unusual. There must be a serious bug or security issue […]
