RoverGal, you are first to report an issue with this. I do not see any problems with my own mobi files (although I do have .prc extension because I use Mobipocket Creator).

A couple of questions to troubleshoot this:

So, you are saying that the .mobi files that you have previously read on your Kindle have stopped opening?

Have you tried deleting them from the Kindle and putting them again in the Documents from your computer via the USB cable?

Do they still appear in the Home screen and just don't open? Or did they disappear altogether even though they are still on the Kindle?

What did you use to create .mobi files? Calibre? Kindlegen? Mobigen?

Try renaming the extension from .mobi to .prc and see if this helps.
