I would like to be able to auto-launch Read from CC, and it works for Mobi, but not for AZW3. Nearly all my books these days are AZW3. I know my Kindle Fire knows how to open an AZW3, but I just get the annoying "if you think you have an app, click the FAQ" button when I try to read them from inside CC.

I've moved the default location for CC books to the Kindle's Books folder. So at least now I can read the books, but it would be good to be able to autolaunch from CC. Am I missing something? Or is this a feature request?
It is supposed to work.

CC does the following if the book's extension is any of mobi, prc, azw, azw1, azw3, or azw4:
  • Get the folder that books of that fornat are stored in.
  • Compare that folder to "(internal memory path)/kindle/". If equal, offer the amazon app. Otherwise
  • Compare that folder to "(internal memory path)/Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files/". If equal, offer the amazon app. Otherwise
  • Offer only apps that respond to the "Can you handle" broadcast
What path are you using for the books (CC's folder)?

Note that the above two paths were discovered by trial and error using the K4A app. It is possible that the native Fire app uses different paths, in which case we need to make CC aware of that. It confuses me a bit that mobi works, because that implies that they are in one of the known folders. Alternatively they are not but the native Amazon app is responding to the broadcast, which would be a surprise to us.
