Hi,

According to the specs, new kindlegen and Kindle Previewer can convert an ePub to the new KF8 format.

But the generated file still has the .mobi extension. Is it normal? I mean is this mobi file still a KF8 file? How can I check if it is a standard mobi file or the new KF8 one?

When I upload this .mobi file to my amazon space, according to amazon it is a AZW file, not a AZW3 file.

Another question, are there tools to edit mobi files, and especially new KF8 files? Or do I have to convert them to ePub, edit them with a tool like Sigil, then convert them back to KF8?

Thanks
