because there's also a suggestion in the notes that if you want "new" you shoudl use AZW. Surely convert to azw = convert to mobi with "New" option" selected ? except for the file type ?
PS as I've not - for a very long time at least, ever wanted to convert TO mobi, I don't see when how I would have changed that mobi output option default. I guess a " reset to defaults" will test what the default actually is.
I read in epub, I messed with convert to AZW when i got the kindle fire, preferred epub apps, reverted. I wanted yesterday to send books to my daughter's kindle & I recalled reading that there were issues with sending azw, so figured mobi would be easier work better - Duh
30 minutes on phone to amazon, 30 minutes trawling MR & amazon customer forums, much head scratching later...... 1st ever ( I think) visit to mobi output options screen...
anyway, once more for dummies like me, [ and in a separate thread if that's better] why do we need all 4 of convert to:
AZW,
mobi (old)
MOBI (new)
mobi (both)
4 scenarios please, and are all of the above truly "different".
Maybe it's already been discussed /explained at great length & I was not paying attention, in which case a simple link will suffice
I was OK with the 2 formats concept: old mobi, and (newer) AZW, the latter being closer to epub/ editable in calibre.... and i was OK with the idea that amazon usually give you 2 formats in one file for your device to choose the one it prefers.
& I am used to the idea that file extension- ( .mobi, .azw) tells the O/S what to expect inside. But 4 variations ????. and 3 of those with the same extension ???
