In any case, as long as I convert one book at a time, things seem peachy (thus far).
Have you set the default output format to mobi? If you did prior conversions, did you remove the checkmark from use saved conversion settings for individual books?

I got burned by first one time when I did a test convert on one ebook from epub to AZW3 and then bulk converted a batch from epub to epub. The output format was not sticky as I had assumed.
