not for me it doesnt.. maybe depends on the file, and the device....
and maybe amazon have tweaked things again, but in my testing, for my daughter's kindle in another city, the only books that arrived were those converted to "old" mobi" as per calibre's defnitions of "new" and |"old". ANYTHING CONVERTED TO " NEW" MOBI" never arrived at her kindle. That's an oldish kindle, if that's a factor
basically "send to kindle" is a mess - it's send & hope & you got all the permutations right.
not begin able to send anything that calibre file as AZW is ridiculous.
so, starting with epub, I need to convert to AZW to sideload and read on my own paperwhite, then convert again to old mobi to send to my daughter
