I don't know exactly what happened, but as I've pieced together from assorted clues scattered through the forum, the manufacturer changed the file format but not the file extension. So there are old format MOBIs and new format MOBIs. Hardware ereaders can only understand the formats they have drivers for - unfortunately for users, their is no (external) way to tell which type of MOBI you've got. So one ereader can open the file and the next cannot.

Luckily the conversion process can correct things, making the fix relatively simple. Annoying, but simple.

I'm very glad I was able to suggest a fix!
