It's not actually dead.

It's just you can't send it to Amazon (unless a fixed layout) and non-touch Kindles can't access the store. It hasn't been possible to upload reflowable mobi to KDP for ages. The epub is preferred with docx as 2nd choice. Fixed layout have different rules and are not true ebooks, but like PDF, replicas of a particular layout on a particular size "page".

But we have bought Amazon eBooks for years and never used the store via the Kindle.
Some titles even that are reflowable are still pre-KF8 (mobi) format even on a Paperwhite.
Ebooks can still be purchased and downloaded for pre-KF8 (mobi) format only Kindles in "mobi" format.
