The kindle most definitely can read files in the MOBI format in fact I am just this minute reading a recipe on my Kindle in MOBI format. As far as I know, calibre has never sent files to the Kindle in the POBI format, that is used only by news downloaded from amazon.

POBI is exactly the same as MOBI, just with the file extension changed. You most definitely have indexer problems. And you cannot eliminate indexer problems by sending other files to the Kindle, since it can well happen that the other files are indexed before the problem file, while your POBI file is scheduled for indexing after the problem file.
