MOBI Format for Ordained Servant and New Horizons Canceled

Since January 2012 the OPC Committee on Christian Education has offered its online magazines New Horizons and Ordained Servant in EPUB and MOBI editions (for E-book readers), as well as HTML and PDF. E-books were easier to read on small screens, such as cell phones. But in recent years, developments in coding have made HTML content display just fine on most small screens, making the E-book editions redundant.

Because of the proprietary nature of the MOBI format, and consequent problems creating and accessing MOBI files, the CCE Subcommittee on Internet Ministries has made the decision to drop the MOBI editions of New Horizons and Ordained Servant. The HTML, PDF and EPUB editions will still be posted. Previously-posted MOBI editions will still be available.

Beginning July 1, 2023, OPC.org will no longer produce MOBI editions of New Horizons and Ordained Servant. Thank you for understanding.

In Christ,
Stephen Pribble, senior technical associate
