title_body: On Kindle devices can you open an ebook as an email attachment? I know that you can email a Kindle ebook to the device itself using Kindle Personal Documents Service. I've been told that you cannot download a file directly using the Kindle Fire web browser.  
  
  If I opened up a .mobi file as an email  document attachment on a Kindle device,  would I be presented with the option to open it in Kindle? Or is the only way to do this through Kindle Personal Documents Service or Calibre? 
  
  (I'm writing a how-to about how to sideload on various devices and don't have access to a Kindle Fire at the moment).
upvoted_answer: Update: 
  
  Ipad/iBooks let you open .epub files from email attachments. So does Nook/Android. (You can also download them from a URL).  
  
  As far as I can tell though from the Amazon.com website, there is no way to open/add a .mobi file from email or a browser.
