So conclusion: Kindle for iPhone and Kindle for iPad (not Kindle for Mac) use mobi query. However, someone said that they thought that when published, not previewed or sideloaded, that Kindle for iPhone and Kindle for iPad then use KF8. No idea why publishing would do this and Kindle Previewer wouldn't. Your experience? Anyone else?

No clue, really. I
do know that if you're side-loading a file you created with Kindlegen/Previewer, you're loading a dual-function, MOBI/KF8 hybrid file. When downloading a published ebook to those devices/apps, you're getting a stand-alone KF8 if the device/app supports KF8, and you're getting a stand-alone mobi if the device/app
doesn't support KF8. Published ebooks are never delivered as dual-function hybrid files. They're either one or the other. So perhaps the Kindle apps on i(Pad|Phone) don't work perfectly with those side-loaded, dual format files? Just guessing of course—I don't have any iDevices to test on.
