The easiest way to do this is to retrieve the epub file from your Calibre library, change the extension to .png or .txt (I seem to recall that .txt only works on Mac), then use Send to Kindle, and Amazon will run it through KindleGen for you and deliver it to all your devices. eink Kindles will get azw3; not sure what format iOS and Android get, but whatever it is works on my iOS devices.
If you use the Send to Kindle app, input Title & Author in dialog box. This is preferable to the Send to Kindle email address, which uses the filename for the title and the email address for the author.

I made an account just to say thank you for everyone in this thread. I couldn't get MOBI files to sync on my Kindle, despite reading every tutorial searchable by Google on how "Kindle allows syncing of non-Kindle books." This is the only source that helped.
I had a commercial MOBI book that I added by the email method. No syncing. Zero. Finally came across this thread.
What worked for me is I actually took the MOBI and converted it to an EPUB in Calibre. Then I changed the extension to .png and used the Send to Kindle app. Worked like a charm. I think I lost the cover but haven't noticed anything else.
Anything else you lose with this method?
