No More .Mobi

Amazon has chosen to discontinue support and usage of the .mobi ebook file standard.

The .mobi file type is, by digital standards an antique. It was introduced in 2000 by a company called Mobipocket SA. Amazon bought them in 2005 and typical to a number of tech acquisitions (by many different large technology acquirers), forgot about the .mobi standard.

If you have previously downloaded our ebooks in the .mobi format to your Amazon Kindle or Kindle software those books remain supported and readable on your device. However, you will not be able to add any new .mobi files to your device. All .mobi files that you have already added to your Kindle are safe. They won’t be deleted. You will have full access to them.

Amazon has chosen to fully support the .epub file standard.

EPUB is a technical standard published by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). It became an official standard of the IDPF in 2007. The current version of EPUB is 3.2.

Because of this we will remove all .mobi files from our site. In the mean time before we can finish this task, we ask you to be mindful and NOT download .mobi files when you purchase books from us. Your Amazon Kindle device should support our .epub files without any problems.

About the author: Born a long time ago, I developed a love for Pulp Fiction as a young whipper-snapper. Whether it was riding rocket ships to Mars or tracking down the cruelest of killers, I always rooted for the hero to get the girl in the end. I found that a lot of my favorite pulp fiction stories, mysteries, sci-fi and adventure had gone out of print and also into the public domain, so like any bright young enterprising lover of cattle rustlers, robot armies and insidious villains, I decided to make the universe safe for my pulp fiction heroes of yore and republish them. I have since opened up the PulpFictionBook.Store to bring some of my old friends back to light.
