Even though some KDP authors managed to upload Calibre-generated .mobi files to KDP you should never use Calibre to generate .mobi files for KDP upload.

If you generate a .mobi file with Kindle Previewer/KindleGen, it'll automatically generate a dual format .mobi file with attached source files. These files can be openend by all Kindle models. (Older models, will automatically read the old format.)

If you upload a .mobi file generated by Kindle Previewer/KindleGen to KDP, Amazon will automatically extract the correct format and send it to the buyer.
