I convert to dual-mobi, which contains both mobi and azw3 formats in one file. When downloading from the Cloud, it will usually result in the the azw3 format being delivered to my Kindle. But it's not working for this one book.

In calibre run edit book and fix any errors found.

Save epub and run flightcrew epub checker.

Fix any errors found.

Save book as epub in kindlegen folder then turn it into a mobi.

Import into calibre and directly send to kindle (dont re-convert or anything you dont need to).

This is my last resort and has never failed me so far.
Thanks oblox, my process is different, but should achieve the same result:

- edit epub and fix errors (I use an html editor, not Calibre, but that shouldn't make a difference)
- validate epub
- convert with Kindlegen via command line
- send to kindle via email

I will experiment with Kindlegen more, but I really wish we could figure out what causes send-to-kindle to reject the azw3 portion of these files.
