Problem: Kindle App won't open .mobi file (Solved)

[Kyle789]

I downloaded the book on my android but the file doesn't open. I've tired all the suggestions but none want to work.

[artemis822]

I downloaded the book to both phone(Galaxy s7 edge) and laptop. I have the "send to kindle" app, which had worked previously, but doesn't get received. I can transfer the file. But no matter where I try to drop it, it won't open. It will show up in the app, but as soon as I try to open it I get errors, in app for both PC and Android.

I also tried to use other mobi file readers, and have had no luck with those either.

This hasn't been solved. File will not open. I am able to relocate into the Kindle apps for Android an PC, and it shows in the home screen. But I get an error when I try to open it.

I've also tried to open it using other .mobi Mobile apps, including Calibre, AlReader, Universal Book Reader, Cool Reader, and FBReader. All of them display an error when I try to open the Book Blueprint by Jacqui Pretty mobi file.

A - I've tried all three, I've also tried to convert the book to pdf and epub.

2. Do you get some kind of specific error message? What does it say exactly?
A - It says that the file can't be opened, and to delete it and re-download it again.

3. What device are you using?
A - Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge Phone and Asus Laptop, can load to either.

4. Have you ever been able to open a mobi file in the Kindle App on that device?
A - I had previous success with other books from this site.

My last two posts about this. Is there an option for a different format?

This might help. I had problem opening a mobi on my phone which has a kindle app and I have 2 other kindle devices.

Moving the file to another folder did not work for me.

What worked was the old school method of sending the file to my kindle devices via the kindle email address.

My case is slightly different, I tried to download the mobi but it says that the app is not available in my country. Is it possible to always get the books in pdf format?
