Is that how you were using it? The reason I ask, is that I open MOBI books stored on my hard-drive that I created which have never been through the Amazon system. You should be able to do the same to access the MOBI files you have created.

I don't understand why it gave you such hassles!
This adventure was on my Android tablet. I can read the mobis on a couple of ereaders that I have installed on my Linux (MX Linux) desktop, but I wanted to see what they looked like in a "real" Kindlesque reader. I've never used WINE. Just never had a reason. Well, that's a lie. I tried it once just to see, but couldn't think of why I'd need it. Anyway, I got some experience in the world of tablet apps.-)

I read Lifehacker regularly. They have a good article once in a while.
