I've recently replaced my Axim x50v & JetBook with a Kindle 3. I've been keeping Calibre up-to-date (currently 0.7.37). I thought I changed the settings in Calibre to default to the Kindle (Preferences > Common Options > Page Setup > Output Profile Kindle), yet when I choose to convert a book to MOBI format, the Page Setup still shows the JetBook 5-inch as the default Output Profile. I even ran the Welcome Wizard again, and the JetBook still shows up.

I also changed the preferred input order (Preferences > Behavior > Preferered Input Format Order) to LIT, MOBI, EPUB, yet when I choose to convert a book with LIT & EPUB formats, the default input format is EPUB.

I've also tried setting the default justification (Preferences > Common Options > Look & Feel > Text Justification) to Justify Text, yet when I convert a book, the default is still set to Original.

Is there someplace else I should be changing these options? Or does it work differently than I'm expecting?

Thanks!
