Calibre can definitely convert to MOBI. You are doing something wrong.

Actually this highlights something I wanted to mention about your plan to sell books from your own website. Doing that cuts out the middle man, but leaves you responsible for supporting your customers and getting your book to work for them on their devices. You may wind up with some very dissatisfied customers.

Most Kindle users buy a book and it just shows up on their device for them to read. Most of them don't know any more than you do about how to read a book not supplied by Amazon on their Kindle device.
