There is, even to this day, Old MOBI/KF7, or Dual MOBI (AZW-whatever) for Calibre. Now, if you mean a MOBI made by someone else, a "KF8" mobi, then yes, you can have a file with dual interior files with the file extension of MOBI. It's unclear to me if we mean "files from anywhere," or "files made by Calibre," so...that's my clarification. IF files made somewhere else, by somebody else, are included in the discussion, then yes, there are 3 possibilities in the MOBI family. Hitch |

I notice that when I select an OLD or a NEW MOBI ebook the plugin has only a "Unpack MOBI" sub-menu under MOBI menu. When I select a BOTH MOBI ebook there is also a "MOBI->Split KF8/MOBI..." sub-menu always under MOBI menu. KindleUnpack recognizes a BOTH version "before" unpack it... Perhaps by asking @DiapDealer in the "[GUI Plugin] KindleUnpack - The Plugin" thread.... Stefano |

Amazon has more kinds of mobi as there is a fixed layout that seems to be more based on PDF than HTML3. Calibre doesn't make it. |

below the results of I little test that I made. I have a MOBI ebook not converted with Calibre. If I sideload it via emai, Kindle shows a cover thumbnail only in "Home" page/view. It's not show cover either in "Library" page/view or in context menu that appears if I long press on the ebook cover The same ebook converted with Calibre (MOBI to MOBI) shows correctly the cover thumbnail in all situations if I sideload it via email I have a Kindle Paperwhite 11 with fw 5.14.2 Stefano |

No... these are the results.... I have found differences in cover thumbnails when I sideload a MOBI ebook not created with Calibre and another created with it:
... If I sideload via emai a MOBI ebook not converted with Calibre, Kindle shows a cover thumbnail only in "Home" page/view. It not show cover either in "Library" page/view or in context menu that appears if I long press on the ebook cover The same ebook converted with Calibre (MOBI to MOBI) shows correctly the cover thumbnail in all situations when it's sideloaded it via email... .. only this I know only that both of them are MOBI7 file type Stefano |

Isn't this a known thing? That the whole "Calibre doesn't display my cover" is a known behavior? Or am I hallucinating? Doesn't this have to do with the meta delivered by Amazon, for a "book" versus a document or some such? Stefano, have you researched this at the Calibre users' forum here on MR? Hitch |

Without knowing more about how you created this MOBI file it is difficult to speculate as to why the cover isn't working.

What is the difference between the two versions that causes the thumbnail cover not to be displayed? P.S. It's a free ebook Thanks Stefano |

The reason that file does not work correctly is that the cover image it contains is only 150 x 236 pixels. This is too small for the Kindle to produce a proper thumbnail image of the cover. (I do not know the actual minimum cover size needed. I suspect it varies by Kindle model and firmware.) The cover in the working MOBI file is 317 x 500 pixels which is large enough to work properly. |
