yes, unless amazon changes something by august, which is highly unlikely.

THIRD UPDATE: Having Calibre add the word CONVERT to email subject lines seems to assure that EPUB files arrive at my Kindle. Featured Article navigation is lost though...

UPDATE

I tried another transfer - this time the document was a Garmin GPS User's Manual in pdf form.

I tried converting it to EPUB. Amazon wouldn't accept the transfer from Calibre.

I tried converting it to MOBI. Amazon wouldn't accept the transfer from Calibre.

I tried sending the EPUB, MOBI and PDF versions in the Calibre directory via a direct e-mail (not the Calibre e-mailing function). That didn't work, and there was no message of any kind form Amazon.

I tried sending the EPUB version from the Calibre directory via a direct e-mail. Amazon rejected it.

I tried sending the MOBI version from the Calibre directory via a direct e-mail. Amazon also rejected it but sent me the advisory about MOBI being deprecated.

I tried sending the PDF from the Calibre directory via a direct e-mail. That version went through although I receive a message from Amazon that the transmission had failed.

Finally, I tried sending the original PDF as downloaded from the Garmin site via a direct e-mail. That version was also receive, but again with a transmission failure message from Amazon.

I tried again to deal with the Amazon chat people - and they were even worse than my first attempt (I didn't think that could be possible).

With this kind of performance, I'm amazed that Amazon is still in business.

NYT and Economist came through for me today, albeit with a less useful t/c. Arts & Letters and Daily and Times of Israel were rejected
