In a recent communication, Amazon has alerted Kindle users about significant changes set to take effect from next month. The notification pertains to the phasing out of support for sending MOBI (.mobi, .azw, .prc) files through the “Send to Kindle” feature, starting November 1, 2023. This change, as News18 pointed out, specifically impacts users attempting to send MOBI files via email and Kindle apps on iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac.

Calibre + KFX plugin. That's it.

KFX supports hyphenation and many more advanced features - the plugin exploits the official Amazon app for publishers to convert any open format into KFX, giving you all the features of Amazon store bought books for free.

Sadly, KFX plugin does not work in Linux (it lacks Kindle Preview app)

How about using Bottles ?

[–] TwinTusks@outpost.zeuslink.net 3 points 1 year ago

Been meaning to, but havent try yet.

Still bit a noob, I am wondering if I should also install calibre through bottles (I imagine bottles sets up some sort of sandbox that only those installed through it can use its files).
