Feature Request: MOBI Support #84

I know this is mostly tagged around PDFs.. but it would be great if it included MOBI support in this.. then I can finally phase out my other ebook servers.

While possible in theory to add support for some versions of the MOBI format I wonder whether this is the right way to go as there are many other formats (FB2, AZW (a form of MOBI), DOC (of Palm heritage), etc) waiting for support. I'd rather spend time to create an on-the-fly format converter which can turn MOBI publications into EPUB, cache the result on the server and serve the converted file to Reader. I've used a similar system for years to good effect, based around the Calibre ebook-convert tool.
