Compiles to azw2? You mean like, stick in a .bas and you get an azw2? Not happening. Azw2 is all java.
Basically, an azw2 is a signed jarfile which contains code that is executed in a very restrictive environment. You could use kindlet JB for getting past these restrictions (reading files, writing files, executing commands, etc), but you will still have to port the ui and change many things around. Kindle Touch and PW 1 & 2 use a modified swing based ui, while older kindles use some kind of ui toolkit they wrote themselves for use on nontouch devices.
TL;DR: No one click solution, get your hand dirty in some coffee.
ALTERNATIVLY: Try porting a basic compiler and x11/gtk bindings to the kindle, but that might be very tough (for you).
LEARN JAVA:

Download the course materials and watch the lectures on YT.
Oh yeah, dos1 ported pygtk for kindle, so try that out to see if python's your thing.
ALL of this is very difficult to do on a windows machine, get a linux distro (must do this before you read the period at the end of this sencence).
