Reading mobi on iPad - my struggles

Let me start by saying I have never been a fan of the way Apple locks down everything. My issue wouldn't be there if i had an Android tablet, but I have inherited an iPad Air 2. I like it in that it is solid and I prefer the screen aspect ratio, making it ideal for reading.

But, the struggles I have been having getting my mobi file into the Kindle app, or some of the other eReader apps, has been extensive. With an Android, I just drag and drop - a non-brainer. But with the ipad, they want you to go through hoops and they prevent you from achieving your goal with simplicity.

So, I waNt to read some mobi files on my iPad. Which app should I use and how do I get it there?!! The Kindle app seems to require you to have your books uploaded to your Amazon account, but I don't want that. I have a kindle paperwhite with a separate selection of books and I don't want that collection and my iPad collection together. I just want to periodically put the files I want into an app where I can read the mobi file and highlight various parts of text. It is for study.

Please note, I do not have iTunes.

What do you guys suggest?
