Getting Project Gutenberg onto Kindle App

Hi,

Simple question. I'm aware that on actual Kindle devices one can download and read free material direct from Project Gutenberg. Seems reasonable I can do the same thing on my Android phone using the Kindle app, but I can't figure out how to do it: dragging the .mobi file into the Kindle folder on storage doesn't seem to do it.

And ...

1) I know you can get a lot of them from the Amazon store. But there's a lot of material on Project Gutenberg that's not available through Amazon but still readable on a Kindle.

2) I also know there are lots of other e-readers for Android that will probably do what I want, but I'd rather use Kindle if I can because it syncs reading positions with my tablet and allows me to keep all my books in one place.

Cheers,
Matt
 
Okay, ignore this. I re-started the phone and there was my book :)

Only had an Android a couple of days but already noticed that it sometimes needs a re-start to pick up new settings and material. Anyone else noticed this?
