I use calibre to convert epub files to mobi. Then use "send to Kindle" function, to send mobi files to my ipod Touch and I mostly read my books in my kindle app.

It has been working fine, until around Aug/Sept 2015, when the mobi files will appear as .azw after transferring.

Initially thinking it may be a Window 10 problem, I used my other laptop which is running Window 7 to send the files. I also tried older version of calibre but the mobi files still ended up as .azw.

I tried to convert the files to .azw3 but then "send to Kindle" did not recognise .azw3 files.

I am able to open the .azw document in Kindle but Kindle does not recognise any changes I made (such as changes to author's name) just prior to the transfer (in the Send to Kindle app). I also find that seeing the extra .azw in the title rather annoying.

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks.
