If you have a Kindle, it makes a lot more sense to use AZW3 as your default format, and not Mobi.
Thanks, for some reason, 2 years ago or so, I had read somewhere that Mobi was the preferred format. Maybe it was that it was readable on other devices, I do not remember. Researching this question, I found what you said to be true and have switched to AZW3 as the default format.
