I’m not a professional in this.
When I connected kindle in the first time and run Calibre, it recommends mobi.
I think it is more popular so I can use my library when I ll buy a new ebook reader next year, or to share some books with friends without conversion.
All the sites from Project Gutenberg to pirated archives use mobi for kindle.
Do you recommend convert to AZW?
I’ll try tomorrow
Thanks for the answer

Ps anyway it looks like a bug in the program or an error in my command line.
Even if mobi is an old format, it supports cover images and they must not to be lost when converted
