I maintained what I said and that wasn't a joke, but maybe it wasn't clear enough.

I don't know for now, but before the .mobi support was stated as limited. And in my book, as I like to have options, I prefer to have a support which isn't working all the time (Kobo with .mobi files) than no support at all (Kindle with an .epub file).

I have described exactly the same behaviour with one .mobi file in another thread, but as it happens I was able to read the next one without any issue. For some I couldn't read them at all. So, it really depends on the .mobi file and all of them aren't equal, as stated by someone earlier.
