After checking on supported formats I realized finally that mobi is not supported by Sony.

Is there any workaround (short of coverting the mobi file to epub); perhaps an alternate firmware?
Just convert to ePub with calibre. There's very little formatting possible in a Mobi file that doesn't transfer well to the ePub format. (Poetry alignment is the only one that springs to mind, and very few mobipocket books use that.)
