You misunderstand me. Perhaps the extension is used as a filter on what files make it through to the server, but it's plainly not used by the "conversion engine" on Amazon's servers. That is correctly identifying an ePub book as ePub, and converting it to KF8, even though the extension is "png", so it's identifying it by the file contents, not the extension. It may well be that files with a ".mobi" extension bypass the conversion process, because they should be in Kindle format already, hence renaming another file type to ".mobi" will result in failure.
