Question Hosting a file for direct Kindle download?

I've noticed that while some sites (gutenberg etc) allow you to directly download .mobi files to your kindle I can't seem to get it to work hosting the file on my own site.

Does anybody know what the trick is to get this to work?

I have a website and I've tried uploading a .mobi file and even writing a simple html page with a link but when viewed on the kindle they either come up as "cannot load page" or it'll open the .mobi file in the webpage itself which results in just a bunch of garbage text.

I tried to use this page as a reference http://freekindlebooks.org/MagicCata...iccatalog.html

It looks like he just has a simple a href link to the .mobi file which is in the same directory as the magiccatalog.html file.

Any info would be appreciated.
