How noticeable is the upgrade from MOBI to AZW3?

Quite noticeable on modern hardware: KF8 brought CSS3 support, embedded fonts, floats, and real hyphenation that the 2000s-era MOBI engine never had. The words don't change, but the same book typesets with cleaner margins, spacing, and typography.

My MOBI files already open on my Kindle — should I bother?

If they look right, arguably not. Convert when formatting renders poorly, when you want one consistent library format, or to get ahead of Amazon's slow retirement of MOBI — Send-to-Kindle already dropped it in 2022, and app support keeps shrinking.

Are the cover and table of contents preserved?

Title, author, cover art, and chapter navigation all carry across; the TOC is rebuilt in KF8 form. Highlights and last-read position won't follow, though — Kindles store those against the specific file, and the converted book registers as a new one.
