Well, I'm glad it works for you, but other than retaining that derelict K4PC, after XP and 7, I've never been able to dl an AZK-was-MOBI file. And yes, I've tried. Sure, I could boot up my old 7 or even the old XP box, but damn, that's a lot of effort to go to.

AND, it still doesn't really answer the question that I find the most interesting--are these files in their original condition (the post-upload "conversion" or "rendering" or what-have-you?) or are they being redone, to suit other devices, later?

You'd have to assume that of course, there's a check of some kind. Some bot, some algo, that checks a file about to be dispatched to John Doe, Kindle user, to ensure that File X is compatible with Kindle Reader/Software/App Y, right? I wonder if that's the obvious answer. Just build that; if John comes along with (say) the Scribe, which has some "other" format, it takes the file, renders the "new" format and then sends it?

That's probably it. Occam would approve. LOL
