I have been using Calibre to e-mail as Mobi e-books to my Kindle. I have been getting notification from Amazon that my xxx.azw document has arrived and is available for download. And when I look at the hard drive in the Kindle the file has actually been downloaded as an xxx.azw file rather than mobi. Is Calibre e-mailing the file out as .azw even though I had request .mobi? Or do you think Amazon is converting it after it is received? I know when I directly export from Calibre to the Kindle they arrive on the drive as .mobi files. Can someone explain what's going on via the e-mail route?
