Some I've been able to fix with my very limited knowledge, and some I haven't been able to.

These problem EPUBs will all convert happily with no errors in Calibre, and if I sideload onto Kindle in either AWZ3 or combined Mobi they work fine. But when emailing the combined MOBI to Kindle, Amazon still almost always delivers an AZW instead of AZW3.

When KindleGen successfully creates a MOBI, and I email that Amazon always delivers an AZW3. The problem is that KindleGen only seems to work on about 90% of my eBooks.

The error received when KindleGen fails is almost always related to the TOC.

EDIT: If the EPUBs are all validating it might be a different story, many of mine show errors upon validation, but of those most of them work with KindleGen anyway. Perhaps KindleGen is more tolerant of some problems, and less tolerant of others?
