I could be mixing things up, but I think MOBI is the one people use when they send files to Amazon using the email address. I used AZW3 on my Voyager pretty exclusively, and they worked just fine.

Another question - and we have to be careful about details - but are the books you are trying to convert DRM-free? Can you open them in the Calibre viewer to read?

You could be trying to convert ebooks containing digital rights management (DRM) in force. If so, you might have to check out the Apprentice Alf blog to get the plugs for removing that first.
