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
I'm sorry that it doesn't work for you...I'm not sure why. Maybe bring it up to Kovid and see if he can figure it out? Have you tried sending him any log files from the conversions you are doing? It certainly does work for me, and everyone else that I've discussed it with. I've never had a problem using "send to Kindle"-whether it's sending via email straight from my email client, or using calibre's send via email function, or using the send to Kindle app on my computer.

It's my favorite thing about my Kindles. The only time I ever plug any of my Kindles into my computer is if there's a new firmware update that I don't want to wait for.
