Probably because there was a search results that said use Mobi .
The problem with Internet searches is that answer may have been good 10 years ago, but is stale with respect to more modern (K4 > ) devices Look for the date the post was made/updated and consider how it applies to YOUR model |

Kindle previewer for win10 kept crashing when I converted an epub ebook to kfx. So I was going to try to convert it to mobi.
However, I tried it on MAC, and no issue happened. So please ignore my original question. One more question. The version of kindle previewer on my MAC is 3.52.1 while kfx output plugin supports 3.52.0 for now. Will this be an problem? Thanks, Fei. |

Another footnote question.
I've got an ePub file that I've converted to both AZW3 and KFX in Calibre. When I view these files on my Paperwhite, in the AZW3 file, the footnotes seem to work properly. (They show in a popup when clicked.) But in the KFX file when I click them, they take me to the footnote page at the end of the chapter. (This happens in the KFX file whether I create it via the Calibre UI or via commandline.) I like everything about KFX better, except this. Is this something others have faced or is there likely something wrong with my epub? What should I look for in terms of trying to fix it? Thanks in advance! |

The Kindle Previewer CLI does not allow you to select the output format. It is supposed to produce KPF if the source book is compatible with Enhanced Typesetting and MOBI if not. However sometimes it crashes and produces no output file. The Kindle Previewer includes Amazon's CLI tool for producing MOBI files, kindlegen. You can find it if you hunt around in the KPR installation folders. Under Windows it will usually be in the "%localappdata%\Amazon\Kindle Previewer 3\lib\fc\bin" folder. A MOBI file produced using the Kindle Previewer or kindlegen is a Master MOBI that includes KF8 as one of its components. It is larger than a plain KF8 (azw3) file, but it has some advantages in that it will work on all Kindle models when sideloaded and also can be emailed to your Amazon account. The KF8 part of the file will be used by devices that support that format. |

If someone comes across a book with Enhanced Typesetting that displays a multi-paragraph popup footnote and lets me know I can see how it was done. Quote:
Using <br/>-<br/> instead does work, but introduces a dash between paragraphs. There may be other tricks to separate paragraphs that would look better. Someone would need to experiment to find out. |

See the footnotes section of Amazon's text formatting guidelines. The crucial thing in having a footnote be recognized is the matching forward and back links. |

Amazon’s documentation is imprecise so it is hard to know what features of their examples are mandatory.

A period would work better as you can not have the actual period and use this period instead.
