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!  |
I thought about that after I posted, and it's nice to have that clarified. I guess I've been doing things
a certain way for so long I momentarily forgot that it's not a stock process.
So tempted to make a joke regarding a big whale. Nice to know unboggling and I ended up in the same place.
