ebook reader add support for mobi ebooks
No promises on this as it is easy to convert .mobi/.prc to .epub using e.g. Calibre. Is there any reason why this solution would not work for you?

Keeping mobi format keeps interoperability with Kindle: I am using Nextcloud while my wife still uses Kindle.
Use Calibre ebook-convert to produce .epub from .mobi and the other way around?
Well, I know it can be one solution. But 1. There are many out there not using Calibre, 2. I suppose that those not using Calibre do not want to use it just for sake of converting ebooks periodically, both ways.
I don't use Calibre myself but I do use the ebook-convert tools to do on-demand conversion. Just set up a script which converts some_publication_file.epub to some_publication_file.mobi (or the other way around) when either of those is requested. Have it store the results and check whether an update is needed the next time the file is requested. That way you can serve any format supported by ebook-convert without need for intervention, whether periodical or not.
Come to think of it I could add that function as an optional feature to OPDS Catalog.
Anyway, I'll have a look at .mobi but as said, don't hold your breath...
