I ended up manually transferring the book which opens fine on the Kindle.

Any ideas what might cause this. I was able to upload other books without a problem but this did happen with two books.
(driver) Settings!

The driver sets both the allowed formats, AND the preferred format when more than one are present.

Sounds like Mobi was not enabled for that device (driver).
AZW3 being a more preferred format for newer Kindles.

with the device connected, use the arrow on the device Icon: Configure device. Make (allowed )adjustments to taste
