Best file format and method to transfer to Kindle

[Dave_the_rave]

I mostly get books in ePub extensions and then I use Calibre to convert them to either MOBI/AZW/AZW3/?.

Unlike before I am now very aware that all of them are very different and effects how it display on Kindle as some extension would enable me to show book cover while others do not and some would lose advance formatting on the ebook that effect the reading experience dramatically.

Another thing is AFAIK I can not send AZW3 from Send To Kindle app (Kindle Cloud storage) so there is a concern about that, also if I do not store those ebooks in the cloud the higlights/annotations will not be synced.

I can give up highlights/annotations sync, as I am planning to switch to Kobo perhaps. But until then I want figure out what's the best format MOBI/AZW/AZW3 and the method to send to Kindle.

Once and for all I want to figure this thing out considering my priority is:

1. Enable advance formatting as much as possible
2. Show book cover

At the top right of the Amazon Kindle Threads forum you will see a "Search This Forum" button...Type in "best format" (including the quotes), choose the "show threads" (not the show posts) and hit enter. There are many, many threads with tons of information discussing this topic. You might even find relevant issues you haven't considered. Yours is a popular question with no "one size fits all" answer.

If after digging through some of those threads you are still unsure what is best for your needs, post here again... otherwise, your post is going to devolve into a thread of endless opinions mostly unrelated to what you need.

Good luck!

Absolutely mate. Is there a way to delete my thread?

Not by the user. Most threads are left open and, who knows, 10 years from now some thread necromancer will revive them.
