I do not know if it is a feature or an error.

I have Calibre configured for Kindle as default device.

In my library, each time I purchase a book in Amazon I de-DRM it and put in the library as mobi while maintaining the DRMed one in the same book entry. Then I have the same book in AZK and MOBI.

When I decide to send the book to other Kindle device, Calibre sends AZW one instead of MOBI. And Amazon complains telling that cannot process the ebook.

Why Calibre sends AZK? Is there any way to change that and force to send the Mobi version?

The reason for this is because I have one Kindle registered in another account and I want to send my purchased books to that kindle. In Spain that is not illegal because all Kindles are mine.
