You should also check that the preferred output format in preferences->behaviour is set to MOBI.
Hmm. I just checked my prefs/behavior/preferred output format and it was set to epub! And yet all my ebooks I send to my K3 via email@kindle.com or by sideloading them come correctly formatted.

I wonder why my behavior setting was set to epub? And why my K3 was getting them correctly formatted if that setting was wrong? I know it should be MOBI (I just changed it).

Would it have anything to do with the fact that I just updated my program version from 7.4.6 to 7.4.7? (haven't sent any books since the update.) But the wizard had Kindle1,2, or 3 set in the defaults.
