Thanks.
I'd used that trick in the past, (epubs sent as jpg or png) but it hasn't worked for me in a long time. They just get rejected, whether I put "convert" in the subject line. Seems Amazon is no longer fooled.
Tried it again today. No luck. Rejected.
What does work is converting to .txt or .docx. Tried both and uploaded. Both results can use the boldness adjustments and they sync reading progress.
But one big disadvantage of both formats is that you lose a functioning table of contents. The txt format loses all TOC links — there is a textual TOC, but they don't work as links. The docx has 2 TOC's, one of which has working links. But you'd have to bookmark that page because neither docx nor txt has a TOC that works with Kindle's "Go to" feature. In other words, there is a "content" TOC, but they lose the "metadata" TOC from the original ebook format.
(A working TOC is important to me because I frequently alternate between the printed version and an audiobook. No TOC and I easily get lost!)
And if you have any images or fancy formatting in the original, I think you'd lose all that with a txt format. You might keep most of it with docx, but I won't swear to that.
Bottom line, it just would be nice if the conversion to the new mobi format could be made compatible with some of the newer Kindle features, like fuller font formatting (which it is) and yet not lose the synchronization feature in the process.
