To convert to MOBI-both format in calibre select "MOBI" as the output format and in the "MOBI Output" tab change the "MOBI file type" setting to "both".

It usually works, but there have been reports of converted books that do not open properly on Kindles. I use Amazon's Kindle Previewer for conversion because it consistently produces good results.

I always forget that option. It is a good choice since Amazon's software will handle the conversion properly.

One other thing to mention is that books sent this way will not display a cover thumbnail image in the Kindle's library view.
