If your experience echoes mine, converting from mobi to AZW3 won't produce a boldness slider. In order to get that I had to convert from mobi to epub. Then go to the Edit Metadata window and delete all the versions of the book except epub. Then convert from epub to AZW3. I've done this on 40 or 50 books and it's worked on all of them. No idea what it will do to your covers, though.

I posted this option a few days ago hoping that some of the techies around would explain to us why you can't just convert from mobi to epub and then select epub as your input with AZW3 as your ouput. But doing that doesn't produce the boldness slider which I don't understand.

Nobody seems interested in the problem so far.
