There are countless iOS apps (including simple
browsers! see my favourite iOS browser, Atomic Web Browser) that can download and locally store MOBI (and any other) files and send them to any iOS app. This is absolutely
trivial functionality that has been available on iOS for
ages.
(Naturally, Apple's dumb lame default iOS apps don't even offer
that trivial functionality, but in my experience, that's what Apple's software typically is: dumb and useless, and ugly to boot. It's very wrong to judge iOS on the basis of lame default iOS apps; I ignore them on my iDevices.)

It will be interesting to see what "later in November" means in Apple parlance, regarding the availability of iPad mini Retina. Is "later in November" November 15th? Or November 30th? And will there be sufficient numbers for purchase, or will it be a struggle like iPhone 5S Gold, or the "white" iPhone in earlier years?
If the new iPad mini Retina turns out to be very difficult to obtain in the pre-Christmas period, many folks might opt for iPad Air if only because of
that. (And conspiracy theorists would claim that that would have been the
intended effect.)
