Yes, the download *.mobi from the KDP conversion (Step 6 in the publishing process).

Okay, I think I am beginning to understand what happened here. The Mobi 8 folder contains an epub file, but it is actually the KF8 file reconstituted, and not the epub that I uploaded in the first instance. Is that right?

So when I am told that the converted *.mobi contains THREE books (the one I uploaded plus a Mobi 7 and a KF8 file), either that's incorrect or else I can't prove it from Kindleunpack?

Sorry to be so thick about this.

(And thanks for the reassurance that the *.mobi created on a computer by Kindlegen or Kindle Previewer is NOT identical to the *.mobi created by the conversion process online at KDP. I am glad to know that!)
