I've tried everything I can imagine, but am still not able to open the file.
It's either am not doing the right conversion process, or there is some incompatibility with one or the other systems( file or pc).
Run out of ideas...

I chose to download Book Blueprint by Jacqui Pretty in .mobi format for reviewing and it refuses to open no matter what I do.
I have tried Option 1 and Option 3 (not on a phone but managed to get the book to a Kindle Paperwhite device)
The problem does not seem to be that it is a .mobi file, but that it's protected with specific DMR that cannot be removed. All programs and apps successfully identify the book and it is perfectly manageable to move it to correct folders, but continuously Kindle App for Pc displays error: The book could not be opened. Please remove the book from your device or re-download it and Kindle Paperwhite also shows error: This item cannot be opened because it is licensed to a different user. Delete the item and download it from the cloud or purchase a copy from the Kindle Store.
I have previously successfully opened and read .mobi files without problems and if necessary have formatted .mobi to AZW3 or have used Calibre and it's extension plugin to remove DMR from purchased books and free reads to privately read them on my different devices, but this file seems to be somehow different or damaged.
How can download the PDF file instead or just choose something different for reading and reviewing?

When I try another approach (copying the gift code and clicking on the Amazon link), i, unfortunately, again fail and encounter this error,
"We could not find the gift you entered. Please try again, or call Customer Service at 1-866-321-8851."
Please help.
