I know that you withdrew the question, but I will answer in case anyone else is interested.
The Kindle Previewer CLI does not allow you to select the output format. It is supposed to produce KPF if the source book is compatible with Enhanced Typesetting and MOBI if not. However sometimes it crashes and produces no output file.
The Kindle Previewer includes Amazon's CLI tool for producing MOBI files, kindlegen. You can find it if you hunt around in the KPR installation folders. Under Windows it will usually be in the "%localappdata%\Amazon\Kindle Previewer 3\lib\fc\bin" folder.

A MOBI file produced using the Kindle Previewer or kindlegen is a Master MOBI that includes KF8 as one of its components. It is larger than a plain KF8 (azw3) file, but it has some advantages in that it will work on all Kindle models when sideloaded and also can be emailed to your Amazon account. The KF8 part of the file will be used by devices that support that format.
