I have a very old Kindle (3rd gen, ~12 years old) and I am unsure how it will be impacted by this. My understanding was that Kindles didn't support EPUB files. It seems that Amazon now intend to roll out support for EPUB, but I highly doubt a model as old as mine will get an update.
So it seems that for now, while Amazon are just converting EPUBs to MOBI behind the scenes, everything will continue working. But if down the line they update their more modern devices to support EPUB and then stop converting to MOBI, I won't be able to email devices to my Kindle anymore and will have to sideload them via USB.
Is there anyone else in a similar situation who can tell me if this is true?
