Hi everybody.

I bought a Kindle Voyage and I'm actually waiting for it.
It will be my first Kindle as I only used and ePub ereader until now (Sony PRS 650).

I have to admit, despite the fact I've read a lot your forum that I'm finally lost as the transition seems to be not as simple as "Convert ePub to mobi".

Finally I have some questions and it would be kind of you if some can help me to understand what I really have to do to prepare my eBooks to use my future new Kindle.

1 - I use calibre to convert files. As far as I understand, there are 2 versions of .mobi files : The old one and the new one (KF8).
I've read that to be able to send it in the Kindle Cloud, files have to be converted in mobi using the "both" option to be able to send the KF8 to devices that support it.
I tested it, and I'm not sure it's working. To be sure, I sent the KF8 sample mobi file from amazon to my iPad. It seems that the file received doesn't respect the formatting. Is it an iPad known problem or will it be the same on my Kindle ?

2 - On the Mac Kindle App & Cloud Reader, it's impossible for me to find the files I sent to my iPad in the Cloud. The iPhone can find them. Do I miss something ?

3 - If I sideload a book in the Kindle using Calibre, will it be synced in the Cloud ? If not is it possible to do it ?

4 - Is there some Calibre Plugins that I must have to help me to manage my library ?

Thanks a lot for your answers and sorry if this seems "dumb" questions for some of you but I really need to clarify what I found while I was searching answers on you forum.
