Such was my understanding, but there are self-pubbers who regularly use Calibre for this purpose. Most recently, a post on the Kindle Direct Publishing "Ask the Community" forum hotly disputed my advice NOT to use Calibre, saying that he (or she) had published 17 Calibre-generated books.

Is it perhaps the Calibre epub that such publishers successfuly (or so they claim) are using?

Oh, wait! I see that you are saying that a simple 'Mobi 7" file will work, and that only if there's a KF8 variant does the uploading fail?
