@Doitsu You can't directly use the Mac Kindle App Previewer's version of kindlegen because it is bundled inside the app, so I right-clicked, used "Show package contents," and copied kindlegen into another folder and set Scrivener to use that... but I got the same problem.

@jhowell Yes, there is something wrong with my Kindle Previewer. I realized this based on your comments (thank you!) and the following.

First, my app was slightly out of date (3.21.0, when the current version is 3.22.0). I upgraded but I had the same problem.

So I downloaded Kinder Previewer 3.22.0 on my Windows 10 machine and opened the mobi file there, then converted it to AZK, and then sent it back to the Mac, where I sideloaded it onto my iPad-- and it worked! So, the problem is Kindle Previewer on the Mac is somehow silently failing during the AZK conversion-- is there a way to make it print out some kind of error message?

At least I have a workaround now-- thank you for all your help!
