It can get a little hairy. A certain plugin that "fixes" your ebooks when you first import them into calibre is largely responsible for your situation being somewhat more "clear." Without that certain plugin assigning specific file extensions to certain (sub)formats (based on internal file details), you could simply wind up with a library full of AZWs (if you buy most of your ebooks from Amazon). And an AZW could potentially be Topaz, MOBI, or a stand-alone KF8 (depending on what device/app the file was originally downloaded to). For someone that creates/distributes their own ebooks with kindlegen... MOBI could be the regular old MOBI format, or it could be a joint MOBI/KF8 file. Calibre can also produce a stand-alone KF8 file or a joint MOBI/KF8 file that simply appears as MOBI (or it can create an AZW3—which
should be a stand-alone KF8).
It's MOBI-Madness up in here!
