As to opening the mobis with the calibre viewer, right-click on a mobi file. Select Open with..., then Choose another app. Tick the box "Always use this app" and then select the calibre viewer from the list. If the calibre viewer is not listed, click Look for another app on this PC. Navigate to Program Files -> Calibre2 -> and select ebook-viewer.exe.

After that, your mobi files should have a brown icon instead of blue and should open with the calibre viewer. You can uninstall the Amazon app then.

Havng to check back for messages here as Its not auto sending me updtes for some reason.

Am still downloading my kindle books and converting them to Epub and also mobi
As amazon is changing should I just convert to Pub? They work on my android tablet.
However only mobi work on my old kindle which I take when I go out

Will the conversion stop working soon then?
I use calibre 4.5.
Its getting complacated to understand all these changes lol

Also if i try to change my Mobi books on my pc will that not cause me problems if I want to add them somewhere else?

Converting to mobi in Calibre won't stop working, no need to worry.

Yes, you'll still be able to convert to mobi and read those mobis on your old Kindle. That isn't going to change. If you want to use your old Kindle, convert to mobi. Kindles don't and won't read epubs directly. The news about Amazon using epub doesn't mean you can read those epubs on a Kindle without converting.
