It will not open the book on the app and once I downloaded the copy it keeps glitching. I just want to be able to review books, my passion is reading and this is an excellent way to contribute. I just need a bit of advice on how to make sure I can read it all the way through. I hate missing deadliness and would hate for it to look as though I’ve put it off till last minute. I never have missed a due date foe anything.

You can download an app from the Playstore called Moon Reader. It opens almost all document formats. I use these to read both Pdf, Epub, and Mobi files

The book is in mobi file format
I have never opened a similar file on this device

Am using a techno spark 7 mobile phone
When I click on the book and select "open with" I am getting the error " file not supported".

I tried to move the book to "my documents" using file manager but when I select open with, kindle and OBC are not on the app options to use for opening. I couldn't move the book to kindly file in main storage because I could not find the Kindle file in main storage.
