The attached MOBI opened fine in kindle previewer for me. Note that the best way to create periodicals for Kindles is to download the recipe with the output format set to azw3 or mobi dont convert EPUBs, you will not get documents the kindle recognizes a sa periodical from that.

well the kindle has no debugging available to us so there is no way to tell what it doesnt like. The only way to do it is to systematically remove things form the book till you find the culprit

Hi, kovidgoyal
I solved this problem. It's the cover image. The minimum image size allowed is 1,000 x 625 pixels. https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/help/topic/G200645690 |

That's odd I am pretty sure the kindle will open any file with any sized cover and even no cover. But am glad you got it working.
