In the end, it doesn't really matter anyway. At least not to me. Calibre does a great job of all the converting that I need. And for the majority of Amazons customers - most of which have probably never even heard of Calibre - having Amazon do conversions for them is a plus. True, their Kindle is not actually supporting these other formats, that is a marketing lie, but they don't know the difference and don't care. The average Amazon customer is probably not a hard-core reader that is technically inclined, as most people who seek out a forum like Mobile Read are. You could say to most people here, "I converted an EPUB to an AZW3" an they would know exactly what you mean. Say that to a more typical Amazon customer, and they would look at you cock-eyed wondering what language you were speaking in. I think it is this second group of people that Amazon is targeting with their send-to-kindle conversion process.
