I also don't use non-epub format. It looks like Griker has the inside scoop.

You will only get the specific output format file specified in Preferences|Output format. Any subsequent conversions are done from the generated file.

During recipe execution, if output profile is Kindle|Kindle DX and output format is MOBI, the navbars are removed and the mobi is formatted as a Kindle periodical. It doesn't matter whether a Kindle is connected at the time, but those two setting do control whether or not the resulting file is optimized for Kindle navigation.

And to clarify, the only time that navbar generation is conditional upon Preference settings is during recipe conversion, not during a subsequent format conversion, say from EPUB to MOBI.
