However, my iPad3 running the same IOS and app versions can do it just fine. So basically, for whatever reason, my iPad Mini just can not open mobi files into the kindle app using either the Skydrive or Dropbox app. I tested it with Dropbox and Safari and it also worked. I even reset my Mini and installed the Kindle app with just Skydrive and then reset it again and tried with just Kindle and Dropbox installed I could not get it work.įinally, I reset again and installed only the Kindle app and used Skydrive through Safari and it worked just fine. I could not open a mobi file into the Kindle app with either The Skydrive or Dropbox app. Note, however, that secure Mobipocket or secure MOBI files do not work on a Kindle Paperwhite. I was able to download the mobi file with Safari and open the file in the Kindle app.įirest I reset my Mini setup and installed only the Kindle, Skydrive and Dropbox apps. MOBI, a file format developed by Mobipocket, is widely used and compatible with the Kindle Paperwhite. I had to delete both my Skydrive and Dropbox apps and do it through the web browser. After trying various different things and resetting my Mini to factory default several times I was able to figure out how to open the mobi files I have on Skydrive and Dropbox in my Kindle app.
