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.

I'm satisfied enough with my Paperwhite but would like to diversify off Amazon hardware to something that I can just run their app and also others for more variety.

What Boox device did you get and how do you find the battery life? I'd like to see how things work with color so the mini-C looks interesting as an e-book replacement, and there apparently an "ultra C" which is more of a tablet device but might be a bit bulky (plus more expensive)

I haven't even received it yet, so I can't comment on the actual device. In the end I decided on the Page as I didn't want something too much bigger than my current Kindle and I wanted the page turn buttons since I always found the touchscreen page turning on my Kindle to be inconsistent.
