I hope I am telling this correctly so it can be understood: I am wondering if I need to download Mobipocket Reader onto my Kindle before I can download books in mobi format.

I had to get a replacement Kindle 2 for a malfunctioning one, and I saw that MobiReader had been "uninstalled" though I knew it was there on #1. I didn't uninstall it! It had been downloaded on Kindle #1. This might be two separate issues but I don't know for sure; however, the main question is whether MobiReader is needed on my Kindle at all ... (not discounting what happened to the mysteriously disappeared one ). And if you are wondering why would I have had it on #1 Kindle and didn't know its function, well my hubby also uses this machine ... enough said!!!
