Okay, I asked this question about six months back, and finally found the answer. I am posting it here just in case someone else wants to know. The question was. How do I read mobi files with my kindle app if I didn't download them from amazon? Answer is. In iTunes, go to your devices tab, hit the apps section, go past the list of aps that are already on your device, of course you will need to tell iTunes that you want to sink apps. Once you get past the table where your apps are listed, you will come to a section that says: "the following apps enable you to transfer content between your computer and device" There will be a add button, and the name of the section where your content is stored on your device and in the app. In this case it is the docs section of the kindle app. Hit the add button, go to the location of your mobi files, add the ones you want, and it will add them to your kindle app. Once your device is done, unplug it and check your kindle app to make sure they showed up. This is where you go to the documents section of the kindle, and your mobi files that you added should be there. If some are missing, go to all, and you will see the ones that didn't show up in the docs section, plus all other content that you bought, imported, or downloaded. I am not suggesting in any way to break DRM's, that is your choice. But there are a lot of websites, where you can download free mobi files for your kindle app or device, even a program where you can convert them to mobi format. So I am simply telling everyone how to get these files in your kindle app. Some people do it with dropbox, and choose the kindle app to read them with. But when you do this, it will put them in your docs area anyway, and even keeps your place if you stop reading. The only thing I haven't figured out how to do yet, is to sink it across devices. Whitch probably isn't possible since these files are sinked to your device, not to the cloud. Hope this helps someone, cause it sure makes reading my kindle files a hwole lot easier. I am able to eliminate a step.
