Until yesterday I used MobiPocket 6.2 to check my mobi files on my Windows PC before uploading them to my Kindle. Today however MobiPocket keeps crashing when starting the app. I already re-installed it and rebooted my XP PC, but no avail. Are there other mobi readers for PC?

Free eBook Reader: http://www.fbreader.org/

Calibre: http://calibre-ebook.com/

And then, of course, you could just use the Kindle software: http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.html/ref=kcp_pc_mkt_lnd?docId=1000426311

  • Thanks. I wasn't aware of the Amazon reader, guess I should have been. I'll try that one.

    I really like calibre for this, since it runs on most OSes, and does conversions between formats - useful when you have some old palm formatted book ;p

  • I downloaded the Kindle reader for PC and don't see any way to import and read a .mobi file. Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 13:31
  • No need to "import" or open it... double clicking works fine with the kindle reader:) Commented Jul 18, 2013 at 13:34
