It works ! Thanks a zilllion times. So now I don't have to worry about what happens when Amazon switches to not accepting Mobis any more (which, by the way, did not happen yesterday contrary to their own French announcement) - supposing they do not suppress this possibility of just sending EPub files with changed extension at the same moment, that is -. The process will only take a bit longer because of the need to make an additional copy of the file and change its extension, which has to be done one by one and not as a batch like converting many EPub files to Mobi with Calibre.

Remaining issues (for me) :
- 1/ book cover doesn't show on device (not really an issue, actually) ;
- 2/ in order to receive the ebook with correct title and author's name, one has to change them manually in Send-to-Kindle (else title appears as "Title - Author's name" like in bloody PDFs, and author's name appears as latest name used) ; by e-mail title appears as "Title - Author's name" and author as "Unknown" and it can't be changed apparently. Does by any chance an option in "Modify EPub" or some other tool fix this ?...

And an additional question : is there any reason to use .txt rather than .png or the opposite ?

Thanks again to all the contributors who take the time to help computer-so-so-literates like me...
