And if KDP isn't used by everyone to get Kindle books to Amazon, what is the alternative that is used instead?

(When this discussion began I thought all new Kindle books would be affected, but now I'm thinking I don't understand what KDP is )

Thank you for any enlightenment.

No, I'm not talking about the KPF format (to which EPUB and DOCX are alternatives). I'm talking about KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing platform) which will no longer accept MOBI as of June 28.

Do all publishers upload to Kindle Direct Publishing platform to distribute books to Amazon? or is it primarily independent self-published individual authors?

And if KDP isn't used by everyone, what is the alternative method/platform that is used instead?
