There are so many Mobi files inside an AZW wrapper that it is imperative to have converters that can take it into another semi-universal format. Computer file formats should never get stuck in a Tower of Babel situation, and if they do, we need to fix it before it's too late. One of the great things about Calibre is that it provides many conversion utilities that allow you to get around hangups due to bad formatting, e.g., Gutenberg epub files that lockup some Kobo readers.

You don't need old versions of Calibre to be able to convert Mobi > KF8. The current version (whatever that may be) will always convert to KF8 and Mobi (if needed for an old Kindle).
