I've come up with a new workflow for side loading mobi files. First, I use the free cloud storage app "FolderSync" to automatically transfer any mobi files added to a PC folder to a designated Android folder. Next, I use the Ebook Reader app and set the watch folder to the newly created Android folder. As soon as a new file is added to the Android folder, it is instantly added to the Ebook Reader library.
This is slightly over-engineered for one book, but incredibly powerful if you’re a side-loader of lots of e-books from a variety of sources. Dropping a file on your PC is enough, and within a minute or so it’s been downloaded, and you can fire up the eBook Reader app and begin to read the newly-downloaded e-book. This really shows off the flexibility of Android. We can leave this process as it is, or simplify/tweak it to fit individual needs.

Many converted documents look terrible, even after a perfect conversion. Scan PDFs often require a lot of tweaking. I go into the 'Look & Feel' tab, turn on 'Smarten punctuation' and 'Remove spacing between paragraphs'. Then I change the 'Base Font Size' to something like 14pt to compensate for the Kindle's terrible zooming. Also, in the 'Processing' tab for PDF documents with footnotes, check if they were detected correctly and linking worked properly. It can take a lot of work to make a PDF look native on the Kindle, but it's worth it.

For me, the most sustainable model to read is a mix of models: reading new releases borrowed from the local library, reading for free the classics available on Project Gutenberg, occasionally buying a book from your favorite author to support him/her directly, and using the author’s freebies to discover new series to follow by that author.
Each method for gaining access to ebooks has its weaknesses, and most are fragile. The site for the pirated book could get shut down at any time. Links to sites with free ebooks can become dead at any time. Ebooks can become corrupted. On the other hand, library systems and public domain projects are to be relied upon. They are funded by taxes or non-profits whose mission is to preserve and make available large numbers of books.
Support community based, long term, sustainable models of reading instead. Have the free book be a bonus on top of your regular reading from sustainable sources. That way you are building your reading habit on something solid, something that will last decades to come, and not on the mercy of some ad laden site hosted in a country where copyright laws are lax.

Yes, theoretically speaking. In practical terms, however, conversion of Amazon eBooks requires a lot of persistence. For example, while Amazon continually updates its DRM, the code used by volunteers to enable conversion of eBooks to read on other devices also must be updated from time to time. At times, a small delay occurs until newly released eBooks can be converted for reading on other eReaders such as a Kobo. Nonetheless, despite occasional instances of temporaryproblems, actively maintained tools for eBooks with DRM that were placed for sale by Amazon are vital utilities, critical to book lovers seeking to ensure ownership of digital copies of their eBook purchases. And, because eBook conversion from an Amazon Kindle eBook to read on a Kobo eReader has long been possible (the ‘path’ having been established a long time ago), and is a very active area, in the vast majority of instances in which problems are encountered, they will be found to be transitory in nature and in due course a solution will be found, already described by users, in the extensive resources of software assistance that have evolved on MobileRead forums and in subreddits devoted to the topic of eBooks.

ACSM files are protected until Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) extracts the real EPUB. That EPUB is then easily converted to any format using Calibre. I have done this for many books in my personal library. After getting the initial EPUB from ADE, the conversion is easy and fast. In Calibre you can then choose from many conversion options to a specific ereader format. The conversion itself then happens quickly and efficiently with many options to fine tune the output.

I've encountered this issue more than a few times. The main culprit is usually file format compatibility. Kindle supports MOBI, AZW, and PDF, but newer versions of Kindle don't support MOBI anymore, which Calibre defaults to sometimes. Another reason could be the email address you're using to send the ebook isn't registered to your Kindle account. Amazon has strict policies about which email addresses can send content to your device, and if it's not on the approved list, the transfer fails silently.
DRM protection is another common roadblock. If the ebook has DRM, Calibre can't send it directly unless you use plugins to remove the DRM first, which is a gray area legally. File size can also be an issue—Amazon imposes a 50MB limit for email transfers. Lastly, network issues or temporary Amazon server problems can interrupt the transfer process. It's frustrating when it happens, but checking these factors usually solves the problem.

I am coming here to look at fonts that people recommend. The defaults are giving me eye fatigue.

What is your goal for your digital files? Are you looking to create a long-term archive of books to read later, or are you just looking to read a book that you've already purchased? If you're trying to build a long-term archive of books, then you'll need to consider how to make them last in the long-term. Saving your original book files (such as CBZ or PDF) to a backup system (such as an external hard drive or cloud storage) is a good starting point. The Kindle format files you create will likely be disposable, but you can always recreate them from the original book files as needed. Treat the conversion process as if you're creating a derivative work optimized for your current e-reader. The original book file is the master copy. Saving the original book files saves you from having to re-rip your books or re-download them in 5 years when your new e-reader doesn't support the format that you converted to. Sure, it's a little more work upfront, but it'll save you a ton of hassle in the long run.

Fans of speculative fiction may be interested to know about the SFF Online Free Reading Library, a selective list of short stories and novels available legally online for free. The library is not a download site itself, but rather a index to stories available online at the authors’ sites and the sites of publications that carry speculative fiction. It is a great way to read samples of the work of award-winning authors such as Charles Stross, whose whole collection of Satan’s.hs Update, is available for download from his site as well as from his publishers’ site. I have also downloaded the whole of Catherynne M. Valente’s The Orphan’s Tales: In the Night Kitchen from her site and her publisher’s.

Most of the 'convert it' answers are duplicates of existing solutions. Instead of reading a DJVU file on your phone or computer (there are dozens of DJVU reader apps for each), or on your Kindle (where e-ink really shines for long-form, text-based reading such as novels and linear nonfiction), read it on your iPad instead. The screen is bigger, and you can leave the colors on for diagrams and such. Reading long-form content on the Kindle is where e-ink really rocks, but for all other types of content, embrace the multi-device reality and let each piece of tech do what it's best at.
No single device should be forced to handle all file types. We should leverage the strengths of each device to maximize reading convenience.
