I've tried the new KF8 with Calibre. Amazon didn't even accepted the files, they emailed back that my mail didn't contain a valid document... So I stuck with the old mobi format, which I wouldn't mind.
This is for mostly for some older books, and I don't care if I don't have all that fancy X-ray and whatever functions. In fact I always turn off everything except Whispersync. I just want to read, no page curl, no magazines or whatever, no comics, no pdfs, no notes, no sharing or other social craziness. :-) I'm just an (almost) old guy, who likes to read. But I have three different devices I read depending on my daily routine, and I really need/like Whispersync.
Since I use Calibre for organising, filling out missing info, etc, I wanted to skip another step like converting books in a web browser... That is why I'm looking for help. If there is no help, I can still use the web service, it is just a bit of shame that a super app like Calibre can't do the (all the) job. Most of the files are ok even with Calibre, but is extremely annoying to find out when you are already reading a book that they don't Whispersync. Then I have to convert my original file on the web again, upload it, delete the old ones from all the devices and from the Amazon cloud... :-(
