Mobi or AZW3?
Up until now, I have converted epub files to mobi in order to read the book on my Kindle paperwhite 2019. Is there some advantage I would gain if I would convert to AZW3 format instead?

Yes, there is. The AZW3 is KF8 and is closest to epub rendering.

Old Mobi: For ancient Kindles prior to 3.x firmware. KF7 mode. Any model without Publisher option on Kindle Font menu

Dual Mobi: Testing and upload to Smashwords. Amazon KDP uses epub uploads, not mobi.

KF8/AZW3: All Kindles from about Kindle Keyboard 3. Probably all touch models. All paperwhites and later such as Oasis, Voyage etc. Probably any model with publisher option on Kindle Font menu


Embed & subset fonts. Use Publisher option on Kindle Font menu.

Custom fonts and the boldness slider. Neither works with the old mobi.

Just think that Mobi no longer exists and you'll be better off.

If formatting, fonts and weight adjustment are important to you.
