The Kindle app supports KF8... but that doesn't mean your eInk device will know what to do with a DRM-Free KF8 ebook.

That may not be what happened in this particular incident, but it's going to start happening a lot.
Can the OP just convert the book in Calibre to mobi or to epub and then mobi to be able to transfer it to his/her K3? Assuming there is some reason he needs to transfer the book from Calibre rather than just downloading it directly to the K3.
