Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but using my Evo I went and grabbed the Kindle reader from the Android Marketplace & fired it up (registering w/ my Amazon login..) Attempting to download the .mobi my Evo barks that there isn't an app associated with the file & going to "Downloads" from the Android browser & attempting a manual launch I get no love either..

Using a file browser I can get Android to ask me what app I would like to use to open the file but it doesn't offer up the Kindle reader as an option.

Edit: Nook does not appear to play well either. - Oh well, browsing with the Android browser works fine.. :D

I'm surprised the Evo Kindle app is not working properly for you. The .mobi file was generated with Amazon's "kindlegen" software and from what I can see, it renders fine on the Kindle 2 (which I have), the Kindle 3 (which my wife has), through Calibre, and using the Kindle desktop app on my WinXP laptop. Color me confused!

Just another FYI update after I took a few more minutes to look it over:

Lots of FC's (Force Close / aka: app crash) but I think thats more the Android Kindle app's fault than anything to do with the export.

I still can't get the Android Nook app to see the file. - I gave up and removed it.

Can't play the linked video on the Evo either. - Trying to gets a Kindle FC and the Android browser of course chokes on the Quicktime video as well.
