Hello!!

I'm planning on a Paperwhite, but I'm curious if I can convert my current epubs to AZW3s instead of mobis to put on the Paperwhite - I think I read that they are smaller in filesize than mobis so I can fit more on the reader.

I didn't know if AZW3s can be read on the Kindle if they are not DRM'd AZW3s, I know I'd have to input my Kindle # into one of the Calibre tools for some odd reason (not sure what). My plan is to go Mobi>Epub (do any edits needed>AZW3 onto Kindle.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated!
