The Previewer is only a poor preview for you, not for distribution. Use Calibre to build a dual mobi (convert from epub), then almost all Kindles will actually get the azw3/KF8 as only the K1, K2 and DX(G) family need the totally poor old mobi kf7. Hardly any of those are in use.

The Dual mobi is ONLY for distribution to retailers other than Amazon selling to Kindles, but most Kindle owners would want the epub now, for Send to Kindle, as long as it's DRM free.

You can't use the mobi from Kindle Preview to publish on Amazon. You use the epub!

Clue is in the name. The Previewer is for you alone to preview (and it's not that great at it).
