MobileRead Forums - View Single Post - [Old Thread] Is AZW3 the new default format for Kindle?

I have a Keyboard Kindle.

I've noticed lately that the default format to convert ebooks in calibre for my Kindle is AZW3. It used to be MOBI. Did something recently changed? I tend to just press the conversion button--I know I can choose a different format, but I used to just press it and MOBI was the default.

I've been keeping up with the calibre updates every Friday and my Kindle Keyboard has the current firmware (3.4)

I'd like to ask the experts if I should allow calibre to continue converting my ebooks to AZW3 or should I change it back to MOBI? If I must change it back, where is the default setting for this? Thanks.
