1. With MOBI, the line-height adjustments are tiny: minuscule, tiny, small. With AZW3, it's more like: small, medium large. The difference is very noticeable to me and immediately tells me if I have MOBI or AZW3.
2. MOBI doesn't work with the font_ramp hack, so if the font sizes aren't what I expect, I know it's MOBI. |
Excellent point... although not on my (old) Kindle, and not on any new Kindle either unless someone explicitly uses it.

3. I set my paragraph indents at 1em, which MOBI ignores, so if I get big paragraph indents, I know it's MOBI.
4. When I use Send-to-Kindle or some other non-Calibre method of loading books, I know it's MOBI when I get a real cover. AZW3 will have a generic cover.

Irrelevant in this case, which was specifically about sideloading. And a sideloaded book, whether MOBI or AZW3, will have a generic cover unless a cover is sideloaded, a forged ASIN is used, or the book is a PDOC.

(If anyone can tell me how to get my MOBIs to render exactly like AZW3 in terms of line-height, font-sizing, and paragraph indents, I'd appreciate it. I'd much rather go with MOBI-old and get covers than have to deal with dual-MOBIs.)

As for indenting and line-height, I don't think about that very much
they seem fine to me and that's all I notice.
