I don't have ePUB. I have original untouched DRM Kindle files

I don't have access to books' files from Amazon. I have original untouched DRM Kindle files that are not purchased by me. I get them somewhere online

After exporting the book from Kindle Previewer to mobi file, yes, I emailed the mobi file to my iPad email address. Selecting "open with" open the "send to" window that deliver the file to my Kindle account. And of course it will not be delivered to Kindle app for iPad because of the DRM issues. mobi file stays for few days in the Pending Deliveries : Queued For Delivery folder in my Amazon Kindle account then be deleted

Kindle Previewer export mobi file that is exactly formatted like the original. I can open exported mobi file on Kindle for Mac

The problem is that exporting AZW3 to mobi using Calibre or Epubor Ultimate leads to books' formatting are lost. Most of above books are for kids that include image

Because I'm confident that people like you are pretty most helpful than any official support. However, I will do as per your advice

Thank you very much, it will be my all pleasure. I will upload it somewhere then send you its link

Thanks jhowell for your time and your reply

From my very little experience (of course it's nothing compared to yours) Kindle Previewer export mobi files that is exactly formatted like the original. I can see exported mobi file on Kindle for Mac and -before current problem- see azk file on Kindle for iPad. They are excellent
