emailing mobi files
If I email a mobi file to myself and try to open it on the Fire it says it's unable to find a viewer for mobi.
Anyone having any luck emailing a mobi book. Carol |

Assuming you are sending it via yourname@kindle.com it shows up in the Documents tab. If it's in an email as an attachment which you are trying to open that may be why you are having that problem.

OK you said book, not news feed. In this case will have to follow the instructions for getting Fire to recognize a side-loaded document that doesn't arrive via USB or Kindle email. See for example https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...7&postcount=89

I saw Blossom's post and was able to open the file using her/SCION's tip. I think in the future though I'll just have the newsfeeds sent in epub format and I can just open in Mantano right from the email attachment. Less steps to go through. Carol |
