EPUB will hold the most metadata using extensions that are proprietary to calibre. KFX and MOBI are more limited.

It shouldn't make any difference.

Embed metadata does not allow for transformation of the metadata. Metadata plugboards only apply when sending to a device or saving to disk.
Man, you've been helping me out all over this forum. Much appreciated!

Yea, I knew the MOBI thing was going away - but didn't realize EPUB was already here and working. It looks like amazon just converts it from EPUB to AZW3, when doing the email-to-Kindle method?

Thanks again for your help and insight.
