I always download books from Amazon to the pc because that way I get AZW3 files, which I convert into mobi and epub. I cannot convert kfx files. I keep every book in these three formats:

1. The AZW3 because it is the original file
2. The mobi because the Kindle can read it
3. The epub, because it's open source

Many of my books are not from Amazon and come either as mobi or epub files.
You are converting KF8 (AZW3). You don't need to convert KF8 to mobi because your PW will display KF8 no problem. So what you are doing is making a mess of your KF8. You can delete all those converted mobi. You don't need a single one of them. You won't be buying a Kindle that doesn't handle KF8.
