Calibre wrongly converts to mobi
Hi,
Since Kindle will not support mobi files any longer, I have changed the output format on Calibre to epub when I send epub files from there to my Kindle.
Still I receive a mail from Kindle saying that I have sent a mobi file. What am I doing wrong?

My guess would be that you didn't change values in "formats" column (add EPUB to be first, to have highest priority) inside "Sharing books by email" section of Calibre settings:

Amazon no longer accept Mobi files sent via email to a Kindle. They do now accept ePubs. But the ePubs get converted to MOBI/AZW3/KFW by Amazon before being sent to a Kindle device.

Kindles DO NOT support ePub.

Having eBooks emailed to you by Amazon will not send you KFX. Just Mobi or KF8.

A fact so well known that even Mobileread's resident Kobo advocate is already aware of it...

Does Amazon email ebooks to people? I was under the impression that you could "email" ebooks to a Kindle, but that you couldn't access the email account itself?

In complaining about my post, Jon makes his own error.
