I bought a new Paperwhite 2014 late last year and have just been reading through what I've bought since plus a number of old titles that somehow came across in an incomplete collections that came from the old K3 somehow. I had trouble emailing some of my lost ebooks and had to side-load them.
My question: the Calibre welcome wizard chooses mobi as the preferred output format when the Paperwhite option is chosen. I have no idea if this is the old or new mobi format. The list of preferred output formats from the Behavior dropdown list does not show other than mobi (no old or new mobi). I know I can manually set the output to AZW3 via Preferences/Behavior. So I arbitrarily chose AZW3.
As of this posting, does it still make a difference which output format I choose? I generally prefer to email my ebooks from within Calibre vs side-loading).
Side note: since I upgraded from a K3 to the Paperwhite 2014, I am having to learn to deal with collections... which is not intuitive at this point. I need to find where collections are discussed here at MR.  |
