The "convert older published books just fine" doesn't really tell us a lot. ARe you coding this to be K7-compatible, or...? ET is for KF8 devices, KF8 and Fire-compatible, not KF7 compatible. Your newer PPW is a KF8 device, not KF7.
Is this an ePUB2? ePUB3 that you're converting? And are you telling Calibre to convert it as a MOBI, or a dual-mobi or AZW3?

Hi thanks for the reply,
Sorry I don't have any experience in converting e-books. It's my first time using Calibre and I selected to convert to MOBI. The device I am having the issue with not being able to see any of the pages of that MOBI file is the 4th/5th Generation Kindle that I linked to the wiki. As an experiment I opened the same MOBI file on my new PPW and it worked.
I just checked and the files I have are ePUB3. The MOBI file that worked on the old Kindle was converted from ePUB2.
I have no real idea how to do this but I just want to convert these ePUB files correctly, in Calibre or otherwise, so that they can be read on the 4th Generation Kindle. I have no preference or requirement as to what file type the end result is, as long as the pages show up correctly.
Thanks again.
