It's great that you have gone and sorted out the epub to azw3 info. I'm sure many folks might be interested.

I always said I wouldn't move away from Sony until I had a device that was as well integrated with calibre for collections, tags and automatic metadata updates as the Sony devices are.

When I saw that chaley & son were writing an android app (Calibre Companion) that would essentially duplicate the level of integration I experienced with Sony devices I decided to buy a Nexus 7. I didn't think I could use any backlit display as an ereader because my older eyes are very sensitive to reading for any length of time on a backlit display. I found though that with the right theme in my reading app and the brightness on my device reduced to 1% I have no problem using the Nexus 7 as an ereader. This surprised the heck out of me.

I only mentioned the above because handling collections and where books are placed on Kindles is different then you have been used too. Keep us informed on your progress and I look forward to following your possible ePub to azw3 repackaging plugin.
