Testing on real Kindles is better than an app or Kindle Previewer. At a minimum a Kindle Keyboard and a PW3.

Mobi is nearly the worst to upload to KDP. The MS docx format (even from LO Writer) is better than Mobi upload, but a verified epub2 is better still.
Well....that's not really what I'd say. Saying that 'MOBI" is the worst...I mean, that's like saying that tacos are bad, but pot roast is good--when in fact, you can make one (tacos) from the other (pot roast). When my firm gives MOBI files to our customers, those are built from ePUB2. So...that's a distinction without a difference.

Because we're a commerical firm, too, (with picky-ass customers!) we use MQs in the ePUBs that are used to build those mobis, to optimize the file for this environment or that.

If you mean "MOBI built from a Word file through Calibre" or some other farrago, I'd agree with you. :-)
