Which Kindle models read AZW3?

Effectively all of them from 2012 onward — AZW3 is KF8, the format Amazon standardised over a decade ago — plus the Kindle apps for phone and desktop. Only the earliest keyboard-era Kindles predate it, and those need MOBI instead.

Can I deliver the AZW3 through Send-to-Kindle email?

No — Amazon's Send-to-Kindle accepts EPUB, PDF, and Word documents but rejects AZW3 attachments outright. Copy the file over USB into the Kindle's documents folder or push it with Calibre; both routes register the book with its cover and metadata.

Kindles take EPUB now — why convert to AZW3 at all?

Send-to-Kindle converts your EPUB on Amazon's servers, sight unseen, and a bare EPUB copied over USB still won't open on the device. Converting to AZW3 yourself keeps the output inspectable and makes USB sideloading work — useful for large files or books the email service mangles.
