If you email, or use Send to Kindle, mobi files you cannot bold the font or see the covers,

If you sideload AZW files using a usb you can bold the font but I had issues with some files not showing even though calibre said they were on my kindle. Sometimes when files turned up they would be duplicated, and files that wouldn’t stay in collections. If you connect your kindle to the cloud immediately after loading AZW files you lose the cover, but it comes back when you reconnect to calibre. Not sure what happens with covers if you don’t use calibre.

In the end it just became a headache so I no longer try and read non Amazon ebooks on my kindle.
