Hello, within the last couple weeks I am noticing that all the epubs I run through a Calibre conversion (epub to epub) are producing output that is more 'advanced' when reading in the Android Kindle app.

The new conversions are producing epubs that show page turning animations and what I take to be the page previews in grid style feature when being read in the Android Kindle app. I think this may have coincided with the 6.28 release.

I didn't make any alterations to my conversion defaults. Does anyone know why this change is happening, was an internal default changed? It is a welcome change, but I'm curious how it occured.

I narrowed it down to the conversion as I had an old conversion and new in my Amazon account and opened them both to see the difference. I'll see if I can attach an image of the new conversion. Is it an epub 2 to 3 feature? Or maybe Amazon's back-end processing of incoming epubs for its Send to Kindle? Thanks -
