Remove .mobi and .azw3 e-book formats

I propose we remove the .mobi and .azw3 e-books and related tooling. The formats are not really necessary anymore. And not supporting them makes the e-book build toolchain simpler to setup and run.

ePub and PDF are the two most commonly used e-book formats. And one or the other will work with just about every ebook reader. When the e-books were originally added to the guide Kindle didn't support ePub. But it does now. And I think this minimizes the need to provide our own versions of .mobi and .azw3 files. If someone really wants one of these other file types they can download and use a conversion tool like Calibre themselves.
