You should use azw3/KF8. The mobi format is only needed for the first 2 regular kindles and the two DX models. It is very limited.

What did you convert from? Once converted to a lesser format, that loses advanced (modern) content formatting. Use the Original source (as delivered) |

Don't convert PDFs.

If you use a Send to Kindle tool, do you get multiple columns in landscape mode?

I believe that multiple columns and sticky notes both require KFX format on a Scribe. If you use Amazon’s send-to-kindle most books will be delivered in that format to a Scribe. Amazon didn’t bother to add the new Scribe features to the older Kindle formats.
