“Thank you for sending me the ebook files. But, if I can’t open the #$%@ things, how do you expect me to approve them?”
Lots of writers mutter this under their breath when their formatter sends them their ebook files and asks for their approval.
I’ve said it myself.
Lots of writers would cross their fingers and tell the formatter that everything was fine.
I’ve done it myself.
Open Mobi File Windows 10
To add a MOBI file to your Kindle app for the iPad/iPhone/iPod Touch (iOS Device), follow these steps: Connect your iOS Device to your computer. Launch iTunes, if it doesn't automatically launch. Click on your iOS Device on the left sidebar. Click the Apps tab at the top of the iTunes window. Scroll down to the File Sharing section on the Apps tab. Our first choice is Calibre. Although it is an old ePub reader, it is one of the best options out.
Then I figured out I could login in to KDP, wait for my file to load, and use the Kindle Previewer. Every single time with every single file.
- Launch Kindle for Mac. You will see the Register page when you first run it. Sign in with your Amazon account. Place the eBook (mobi) on your “ My Kindle Content ” folder (Library Application Support Kindle “My Kindle Content”).
- Using iTunes This might be the easiest version after all. Connect your device via USB, navigate within iTunes to Apps File Sharing Apps: Kindle Kindle Documents and simply drag & drop your MOBIs from Mac Finder or Windows Explorer there. Or choose your files via the Add.
Have you tried that?
Such a time-saver and so convenient. Not.
Now, I use my own stand-alone copy of the Kindle Previewer. So fast, so easy. Here’s how you can do it, too.
Before you preview your first file, there’s a bit of setup to be done.
Step One
Download your own copy of the Kindle Previewer here.
- Read information, questions and answers on the linked page above.
- Tick the little box to agree to the terms of service.
- For detailed instructions, view the Kindle Previewer User Guide.
- Download whichever version applies to you.
Step Two
Download the files from your formatter and make a note of where you put them.
Step Three

You can skip the download of the Kindle Previewer and the setup to auto open. Simply:
- Download the files from your formatter and make a note of where you put them.
- In File Explorer (on PCs)* or Finder (Mac), find the files you downloaded and double-click. A tiny Kindle icon to the left of every name of every mobi file will make it easier to spot them. The Kindle Previewer will open at the table of contents page of your book.
- For some unknown-to-me reason, every time you open the previewer, it converts your file, even it’s already a mobi.
