It would be helpful if pandoc could read .mobi files for conversion into
.epub or whatever.
I have pandoc v 2.1.1 and I tried .mobi input and it failed with "pandoc:
Cannot decode byte '\x88': Data.Text.Internal.Encoding.decodeUtf8: Invalid
UTF-8 stream". I checked the documentation and it doesn't look like .mobi
input is supported (yet).

Your best bet is to find something that converts mobi to
epub, then use pandoc to convert that.
mobi is discontinued and I don't think it's worth our effort
to support it.

Calibre (https://calibre-ebook.com) handles Mobi->ePub conversions.
Its primary purpose is to create and maintain an eBook database, but
it converts between supported formats. Calibre is written in Python,
and cross-platform, available for Windows, Linux, and OS/X.
I haven't tried it, but I believe the conversion can be done from the
command line, calling the conversion module directly instead of going
through the GUI.
(I've converted files I got in Mobi format to ePub without issue.)

The calibre command for converting mobi to epub is ebook-convert, and yes,
it works, although not 100% -- sometimes heading structure doesn't come
across correctly in the output document.

My experience has been that ePub->Mobi works better, but the ePub output
from conversion can be massaged in Sigil (
https://github.com/Sigil-Ebook/Sigil/releases/tag/0.9.9) if needed.
