I don't know why Amazon won't allow mobi files to be sent for conversion as well as epubs. I haven't figured out how to import epubs as UTF-8, if that's what is needed, so meanwhile, I'm doing the back-and-forth conversion in Calibre.

Any suggestions for easier conversion welcome. (I'm using Calibre 6.1 still.)
No need to convert ePub to anything. Install Modify ePub and select the UTF-8 option and use that to make sure the ePub is set to UTF-8. That should work.
