I don't know what's going on. I sent the book to the Kindle as a .mobi, it had no hyphenation and it did allow me to use a custom font and change the to bolder. Than I converted the file to AZW3 and it didn't have hyphenation and I could use a custom font and make it bolder. (So, exactly the same.)
When I first move the book over to the Kindle (via Calibre) I show the file name with a .mobi extension and a folder with .sdr extension (picture 1). When I go into the .sdr folder I see one file with an .apnx extension (picture 2). After ejecting the Kindle and opening the book, when I reconnect the Kindle I see two more files in .sdr folder (picture 3). These have azw3f and an azw3r extensions. Does the Kindle somehow convert the .mobi file into a KFX (azw3) file?
I think I'm just confusing the issue. I know for certain I'm confused.
When I copy the file I've converted to .azw3 to my Kindle, I get the same folder, and when I disconnect and reconnect, I get the same two azw3f and azw3r files in that folder. So, apparently, the Kindle is somehow converting .mobi files to .azw3 files?
As I say. I'm confused and let someone else figure this out. I guess the book I randomly chose had no hyphenation, so the test is flawed. But I'm not sure how my .mobi file is working like an KFX file with the fonts?
