Kindle for Mac is my default .mobi reader. It requires it's own library and whenever I launch a .mobi file from Calibre it (Kindle) copies the mobi file from the Calibre lib to the Kindle lib. This Kindle lib is also where the mbp file will exist for the book.

I'm I correct in thinking that if the ONLY app I ever used to read mobi files was Kindle, then the mobi file in Calibre would NEVER be used, yet it needs to be there for management purposes?

(And either one could be my download .mobi to my iPad?)
