So yes, converting your books to AZW3 is good advice (because, for example, you can then edit them in Calibre's ebook editor), but the practical situation is that fiction books will look identical in Mobi7 or AZW3.
Often they wil not, though there should be graceful fallbacks.

Some MOBI books have mangled dropcaps, and while I actually approve of removing embedded fonts, they cannot be said to look identical.

Both features are used often enough in Fiction.
