1. .mobi

2. Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge & Asus Laptop.

3. Yes. Have you ever successfully opened a file in that format on that device before?

4. Downloaded file to computer or phone. Uploaded to "Send to Kindle" application. It gets added to Kindle library.

5. When I try to open it in Kindle on Android or for PC. It shows up, but when I try to open it, I get "File cannot be opened. Remove file and download again." Same error on both.

6. "File cannot be opened. Remove file and download again."

7. I tried all of them, including the other Ebook reading apps listed, and neither one opened that document. I received an error that the document format was unsupported, despite other files of the same format showing up fine.

I just want to review the book. :x

1.PDF
2.Adobe reader on Android phone
3.Yes I have opened files through the device before.
4.When I download any file from the internet, I then close the site and navigate to "documents" folder on my device and open the specific file(s) I have just downloaded.
5.I followed the usual steps (as explained in no.4) but when I opened the file the pages were all blank they were grey pages and could not reveal anything not even the page numbers. Tried on another device and gave the same result.
6. Error reads "invalid continuation byte"
7. I read the top tips.

I don't have any opening problem,I have downloaded a book in which total page count was 230 but after downloading it, I got 167 pages but it seems complete book to me as I have the last page intact in the book.
Should I mark this as a completed downloaded book or not?
