Cool reader can't read mobi?
On the Google play it says that it can mobi file, but when I open a mobi file book, it shows all the HTML syntax.

If you do a google search you can still find a copy of the Cool Reader version 3.1.2-34 on the internet, although not on Google Play. If you delete your new -39 version and instal the older -34 you'll find Cool Reader is just fine with Mobi.

. . . or use Calibre to convert mobi to ePub
If you don't want to be married to a dated version of Cool Reader, you could use Calibre to easily convert the mobi file to ePub. Or try Moon+ Reader which in my opinion is superior and can read mobi ePub as well as mobi (and .txt as well).

What is the obsession with having the latest version of any app unless it fixes bugs?
My port of CoolReader is based on the 3.0.51-11 sources and does everything I want it to do as well as some I didn't expect - like producing a TOC for a text file using the Chapter headings. |

People are hoping that the developer gets back to the essential functionality and fix the numerous ebook issues and missing CSS support.
