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.
You need to download the Kindle App to your device to be able to open the file.

I lost my Kindle fire tablet and this is why I have not been able to do the review yet

Is there a different way for me to get the free book

Hi, I tried options 1 and 3 and still cannot open the MOBI format. How do I cancel this review before it affects my review score? Thank you.

I really wish that online book club can provide option where we can get to change the format we'd chosen because the Kindle is giving me trouble

I am unable to download a book selected for review. I am not familiar with kindle but thought I would try. I usually download a PDF. I would like to cancel this option chosen.
