Improve Kindle Support by using .mobi #1

There are some things such as KindleGen that can create .mobi files. (https://www.npmjs.com/package/kindlegen).

This issue is a way to discuss and track generating and sending .mobi files to Kindle rather than HTML. This would allow the ability to provide cover art, include photos, etc.

I actually tried a bunch of these but none of them seemed particularly useful in this case.

I had mild success with https://epub.press/ but it grabs html from a url, which means there would be no way to include action links

Hmmm that’s strange. I played around with one earlier and loaded it on my Kindle. If I remember i think it worked pretty well. I’ll check what library it was tomorrow when I’m at my computer and see if you’ve tried the one I used in my test app. I loaded the file over USB but it seemed to work well if I remember correctly
