You cannot convert epub books to azw format via Calibre, at least, I have not seen that on my version. And makes sense, because azw is propietary and has DRM encryption (among others features) and it's the main reason why people convert to mobi instead.
You can clearly see that after converting any ebook; the book has "mobi" format at the end of the filename. Amazon for Kindle PC books have "azw" format.

I had read the high compression is a mobi option as well.
Not all AZW files have DRM, and when they don't they are just mobi with a different ID code.
Either is proprietary and unpublished, and are only supportable in Calibre by virtue of reverse engineering, though yes, there is no output for AZW specifically.
More to the point, I had misread your post as saying "you can't convert azw to mobi."
Oops.
On the AZW/Mobi details, perhaps one of our MR brethren who have actually taken the bits apart can confirm or correct either of us if we are wrong.
