It is true when the Kindle eBook is in the Calibre database. Calibre uses .azw for Mobi and .azw3 for KF8. The post I replied to said that the .azw eBook was being converted to ePub in Calibre. So yes, in the context to which I was replying, I was correct.

On my Kindle Touch, mobi7 is downloaded with the .azw file extension, and KF8 is downloaded as .azw3 -- I've seen the same on PW1/2.





It is true, however, that the exact file extension need not mean anything.

Unless of course you get .mobi files instead....
