Solicitous, I would also like to get non-Amazon books into my Kindle for iPhone (actually, iPod) app. I tried your suggestion, but Safari is telling me that it "cannot download this file". I selected "Kindle (No Images)" as the file type in PG, which I see is a .MOBI file.

Do you (or anybody else) have any idea why that might be? I wonder if it's because the Kindle app isn't "associated" with the .MOBI extension.

Thanks.
