The mobi programs are pointless. They were pointless even in in 2016.

Amazon bought mobipocket, which first was selling ebooks for Palm PDA, Win CE PDA and Symbian before Amazon sold ebooks. Maybe even before most people had heard of Amazon. Then of course they killed it. Switched off the servers for DRM too. A failure of USA Consumer regulation.
I am sure Well, way back I installed mobipocket, and its still present albeit not used much. So wanted to keep for who knows when.

PS: In terms of "preview" Pane in Windows Explorer, not within Calibre App, is that possible?
