I want to upload mobi to Smashwords.
Amazon now accepts ePub uploads and converts to "mobi". Except what you get downloaded, even selecting "download to PC and transfer via USB", depends on which model of Kindle you have registered, or which you select if you have more than one.
Calibre seems to suggest some models of Kindle don't work with dual format. I've tested here, and I get what looks like "old mobi" on a Kindle Keyboard with last official FW (2.5.8? Though curiously it does display azw3/KF8 format files ending in azw from Calibre, though without the fonts shown on a PW3).
So the question!
Which models of Kindle DON'T work with the Calibre "dual format mobi"? I believe it's Mobi6 and a KF8 in the same file, thus I presume images are not duplicated.
It seems like the solution for mobi upload to Smashwords as their MS Doc conversion can give unexpected results and seems to be to mobi6, no publisher fonts.
