One thing that I've noticed is that for some books, calibre does a poor job of changing from mobi to epub. I have had some books that looked like terrible scan issues, but then when I happened to read the book on the kindle app, those scan issues disappeared.
His talk of scans certainly suggests topaz, but as I understand things topaz files have their own file extensions, and would not use mobi or azw3.
The specific book that I mentioned where I first noticed it is not a tpz book. I only have a handful of tpz books and I use DeDRM for those. I regard conversion of tpz books as dancing bear software, i.e. the wonder is not how well it dances but that it dances at all.
