Mobi rips input files to HTML in the first place, and uses that as source to build a Mobi file.

You can import plain text, but you lose fonts, text attributes, images, links and the like.

Mobi also imports RTF files if Word is installed. When you browse to the directory where the file you want is located, it looks for .doc files by default, but if you change that to "All files" and select an RTF file, it works fine.
