  (Asked by: username_0 on 2018-03-21)
  
  To convert `epub` to the `azw` [format](https://www.epubconverter.com/epub-to-azw-converter/) I've tried an [online conversion tool](https://www.epubconverter.com/epub-to-azw-converter/) and then sending the generated file to myself as an attachment.
  
  So far this doesn't *seem* work so well.
  
  Yet sending `mobi` files from this site *seems* to work perfectly.
  
  I've installed `calibre` but have yet to fully test exporting or converting locally. Also, it might be that Amazon doesn't "like" the generated `azw` files as I got a cryptic message:

  Yes, I should be able to load the `azw` file, either generated locally or through the web service. Curious about the gotcha's here, or others experience with the "send to Kindle" service.
