Shyamoli Handique wrote: 04 Mar 2021, 11:08 Hi, I am unable to open this .mobi file on my Asus zenfone phone. I do not have a laptop or computer to transfer the files and open them in the books folder of the kindle app. If all your books are in this same format then, it would be a big problem for us, readers, to even go through even the initial stage of your whole process of the Review Team Process. I am sorry, to say I have to quit if you can't even provide a readable format for the readers to read. I have a kindle unlimited plan and am reading books daily.

Thank you
With regards,
Books come in different formats, so you should choose only formats that work for you.

If you are unable to read the book, you should report it or quit the book via your Update tab, NOT here.

The file is a mobi file and after I downloaded the file it will not open in the Kindle app on my ipad. Whenever I try I get an error message saying there isn't an application available to open the file. I even reinstalled the Kindle app.

Have you tried to open it on another device? Either way, you should report it via your Update tab, not here.

You need to report it via your Update tab, then.

You can try to download it to your PC, but you need the kindle app to open MOBI files.

My amazon account won't allow me to sign in currently. I will try again later, but will be out of the hour to accept.

I did download an audio version of Mysteries...(I think). I have been having a problem with Kindle Amazon for a year and I just figured out the problem tonight. So hopefully we will carry on in the morning.

I am just answering your exhortation to answer all five questions. As I said in the other response, I think my problem has to do with Amazon and I will try to deal with them. Thank you!
