Read Mobi Files On Ipad
Phyllis Sterlin
Basically I put my mobi e-books on skydrive and when I want to put them in the Kindle app I just select to open the files in another app and I can select the Kindle app. I am unable to do this with my iPad mini.
Both my iPad3 and Mini are running IOS 6.1.3. I did some google searches and found that this may be an issue with some iPads running 6.1.3. I installed a file manager app on my Mini and it appears that it sees the mobi files as rar format files so it does not give me the option to open them with the Kindle app.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this issue? I was planning on using my Mini as my primary e-book reader and I was hoping to be able to do this without having to convert all my mobi files into mother format
As I mentioned above, I am using the "open with" feature but the Kindle app does not show because the iPad mini is not seeing the files as a mobi file. That is the process I am using with my iPad3 and it works just fine on it.
Please read my posts again. I have been saying that the iPad mini, not the Kindle app, is seeing the file as a RAR. My iPad mini does not even give me the ability to select the Kindle app because it does not see it as a mobi file. When I select open with another app the Kindle app does not show on the list.
So basically, for whatever reason, my iPad Mini just can not open mobi files into the kindle app using either the Skydrive or Dropbox app. However, my iPad3 running the same IOS and app versions can do it just fine. Go figure...
Hello, I have a question for help here, I have a lot of .mobi books on my computer, I wanna transfer these mobi books to my iPhone and iPad for reading, but I found they doesn't accept mobi format, I tried many ways to convert mobi to ePub but failed, the quality of the output ePub file is so bad, unable to read. pleae help! Is there any software can convert hundreds of .mobi files to ePub format with high quality? Don't give me calibre, it keep crashed in my windows 8, and the it is not easy to use, waste of my time.
The way I go from Mobi > ePub is to use Vibosoft ePub creator or iStonsoft mobi to epub converter to convert, use Modify ePub to put in the cover and then use Sigil to rename the files and clean up the code/CSS. I find that's the easiest way to do it.
Some .mobi books -especially if they were generated with Kindlegen 2.x- have a .kf8 version AND an old .mobi version inside (all the more, files generated by the service of Kindle Direct Publishing, are .mobi files). When we use KindleUnpack to unpack that kind of files, then the KindleUnpack produces an .epub book -for the .kf8 part of the original mobi- and others files for the .mobi7 part. We must work in Sigil with the .epub generated from the .kf8 part. Of course, if the book is an old one (previous to .kf8/azw3) then things are more difficult. Still we can build an epub with the .html, .ncx and .opf generated by KindleUnpack and the epub will work in ADE but won't validate at Epubcheck. If we want to be more prolix, then as you say, we have to use a lot of regex to clean de .html and after that to write a css stylesheet, to convet mobi to epub, you have to try professional tool like: mobi to ePub converter.
In fact, certain software can help you overcome this point. Users would like to have software in free or low price but feature with overall functions they may need in converting eBook formats. Coolmuster ePub Converter is one of these kinds of software. It can not only make MOBI files fit to iPhone or iPad or iPod, but also enables you to read HTML, PDF, Text and Word on any ePub-friendly device, such as Sony Reader, Nook tablets, KOBO and so on.
Regarding the downloading processing, it is quick procedure for users to carry out. As long as the software downloaded and installed on your computer properly, it only takes a few seconds to complete the file conversion processing. The interface is very pretty for users to make choice. Just click the "Start" icon in the software, the files or eBook library in your computer in Kindle MOBI can be converted into ePub immediately. And then users can connect their beloved iPhone or iPad to computer after unplug USB cable, transfer the converted ePub files to the device and then users can start reading MOBI eBooks in their iPhone or iPad right now.
ePub is the newer standard and is supported by the Apple iBooks app, but Apple only supports it's own FairPlay DRM wrapper used to encrypt the ePub files to protect the books from being copied or read on unauthorised devices.

The paperback books have a carbon footprint of about 10 pounds of carbon dioxide. This is over ten times the real weight of the book! The e-books have a carbon footprint of zero.

PDF eBooks are readable on most computers and handheld devices using Adobe Reader. Some operating systems and browsers are also able to read PDF files without Adobe Reader using built-in tools. PDF eBooks are more similar to printed books than ePub and Mobi files are: the text of the book is "set" in a fixed layout on the page. This makes PDF a good format for larger screens, such as computers or tablets, but less ideal for smaller screens, such as smartphones or eReaders.
ePub files, unlike PDFs, are "reflowable" eBooks. This means that the text of the book is not in a fixed layout on the page; instead, the text can wrap and resize to be readable on many different screens. ePub files are compatible with most dedicated eReaders, with the notable exception of the Amazon Kindle.
Mobi is the file format best suited for the Amazon Kindle. Amazon offers free Kindle apps for most platforms (PC, Mac, iPhone, iPad, Android, and others) that are capable of reading Mobi files.
On tablets and ereaders, you might not be prompted for where to save your file, and we have had reports of different locations being used from time to time, or by different software. You might need to look around in your downloaded files areas.
