OK, I am still investing, but I think I found the solution.

1. After you convert into .mobi with Calibre, you need to set the language manually to be ENGLISH. If this is set to be blank, it does not work.

2. Transferring the data has to be done via Calibre. Copying only .mobi file does not work.

Every .mobi book file has to have a property set to be English specifically, and this info is not included into .mobi file itself.
