According to Amazon (see this page):

But the current implementation of the function GetMostInterestingDataToSendToKindle() in the lib/Book.php file, the .MOBI file is the preferred one for sending by email. And sending by email is a very popular way to get an ebook on your Kindle!

It seems necessary to change this, for example by preferring the .EPUB format, or at least by removing the .MOBI file from the list:

$bestFormatForKindle = array('PDF', 'AZW3', 'EPUB');

To be precise, and following some tests, it seems that as of today (May 10, 2023), .MOBI files are still accepted by the Kindle. But the message from Amazon suggests that this capability will be stopped very soon.
