What can I do?
Could anyone help me?

thanks
The mobi format support in Kobo's firmware dates back to the original Mobipocket format and Amazon made quite a few changes over the years since they purchased Mobipocket (an advantage of a proprietary format) so having issues with mobi format is pretty much to be expected. Highlighting and dictionary use are not supported on mobi.

As PeterT recommended, load your mobi format books into Calibre, update the metadata and covers, convert them to epub (or kepub) and send them to your Kobo.

I'm quite surprised that many of them would open since you made no mention of stripping DRM.
