So basically what format should I be converting to in calibre for both?
And should I update calibre from 4.15 as it works well?
It is such a good program to view and find my 4,000 books.
Thanks for all the replies by the way.

The OS you are running is what depends on the version you should be ale to handle. If you are running a version 4 of Calibre and that's the latest you can run, then you want to run 4.23.
But if your OS is one that should handle a version 5 or 6, then you should try a newer version.
What OS and version are you running?
Also, given that your Kindle is a 2nd Generation, you have two choices.
- Buy a new Kindle that handles KF8 and KFX
- Convert your eBooks to Mobi (obsolete format)
The advantage of a new Kindle is it's lighter, higher resolution screen with better contrast, and faster, and you can do away with 3G (in the US, 3G will eventually be a thing of the past). Plus you can get a larger screen with a PW5 (6.8").
And there are more features such as being able to use the font of your choice and to be able to increase the font weight as needed.
