Kindle App To Read Mobi Files
Ashlie Hagenson
Note! If you have a Kindle with Whispernet (i.e. it receives ebooks over the mobile phone network instead of via WiFi) then be warned that Amazon make a charge for sending documents to it via email! As long as your Kindle is connected via WiFi when you send the book, you should be fine, but I wanted to point it out. You can read more about this here.
The email also advised that while MOBI and AZW files already in your library will continue to open, if you want to take full advantage of Kindle features, you should convert to EPUB and re-upload once this change takes effect. Fortunately for me I keep all of the eBook files sent to me in the cloud, so I can, but I predict many ebook owners are going to be hung out to dry on this issue as Amazon still does not allow you to download your document files from your Devices and Content library. (Thanks, Amazon.)
Any MOBI files you have already sent to your Kindle will not be affected by this change. However, the downloadable multi-format eBook files available on your Microsoft Press Store account will no longer include the MOBI format; those links will be removed on August 18, 2022. The EPUB and PDF links will remain. Purchases of future multi-format eBook files on microsoftpressstore.com after August 18 will include the EPUB and PDF formats, but will no longer include MOBI.
This change does not mean any loss in content from your purchase, as the EPUB file already included with your purchase still contains all the same content, and may be used on the same devices and apps as the MOBI format was. Please visit your account and download any MOBI files you wish to retain, before August 18. After August 18, please use the EPUB format for viewing on Kindle apps and devices. Visit your Microsoft Press Store account Need help? You may also view Amazon's Help Page for information on sending content to Kindle devices and apps, and contact Amazon Digital Services and Device Support for assistance with loading the EPUB format.
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...
What happened yesterday was different. I tried to move mobi ebooks to my kindle. The books were transferred fine, I can see them on my kindle drive on the computer. The problem was when I opened my Kindle to arrange the books I transferred, they weren't there. I tried reconnecting my kindle to the computer and the books are still there. I don't know what's wrong.
File size can be an issue. I've found that if the book's file size is greater than 50MB, the file will transfer to the documents folder on disk, but not appear on the kindle. In my case, I used Calibre to convert mobi to azw3, which reduced the file size, and the book then appeared on my kindle.
You may want to check the settings on your pc, in particular the mobi files themselves. I'm not sure, but I've had "missing" files before. Try right clicking on the file and selecting "properties". From their, on the "General" tab, make sure at bottom (Attributes) the "Hidden" box isn't checked. Also, doing the same (right click / Properties) under "Security" tab make sure you have all "Full Control, Read, Write" etc in "Permissions for SYSTEM" checked to "Allow".
Edit: I just found a method that worked for me, move the "books" folder to a different location, restart the books app, maybe restart the kindle, eventually, all the old books will go away from the app's library. Then move the "books" folder back to where it belongs. I restarted the app and the kindle again and read a kindle store book for a while and when I went back to the library, all the mobis were there in the library.
If you are wondering where to put those .mobi files (or perhaps any other files that your android kindle app can read) if your Kindle app is located in the external storage (external sd - card), just put them at:
Step 1: Install Kindle for Mac. Download official software here (www.amazon.com/kindleformac). Sign in to your Amazon account if you are already registered, otherwise Sign up for Amazon.
Step 1: Install Kindle for PC. Download official software here (www.amazon.com/kindleforpc). Sign in to your Amazon account if you are already registered, otherwise Sign up for Amazon.
MOBI Reader is a simple and powerful extension that can open any document with a mobi (or kindle) file extension.Please right-click on any ".mobi" link and then click on the - View MOBI - item from the context menu.

Maybe there is a way of reading the .mobi files directely with python and search for 10 ints which is the ISBN number? if I open the mobi file with notepad i can find the number, but when i try to read the file I get a encoding error.

Note: If you can't see "Fire Sharing", or you can't update your iTunes to 9.1 or later, it means that you can't transfer your mobi files to the kindle app on iPad / iPhone with iTunes directly. To resolve this problem, here are 2 methods for you:

Sadly Amazon didn't give me anything but hardcovers but I managed to get my hands on some digital versions after some thorough google-fu.Having the digital versions was just the first step, now I had to get them onto my kindle while also keeping it readable. Google to the rescue again.
The first tool you'll need for doing this is Kindle Comic Converter (or KCC). This will turn your digital comics into somethingan e-reader understands. Except for the Kindle mobi format, you'll need an additional tool (which KCC will tell you about when you select Kindle mobi output).You can download KindleGen from Amazon and need to place the .exe into the KCC directory for it to work. Nothing to complicated.
