I've just read through the last couple of pages of this thread to see what's up, and I'm pretty excited to try this out, especially for my morning newspaper downloads.
One question: I've already got MOBI files set to open in Moon+, so I went into CC settings and clicked "clear reader defaults" (or whatever it's called). Then I selected a MOBI and clicked "Read", and it still opened in Moon+, without asking me which app to use (as if it hadn't actually cleared the default). What do I have to do to get it to open MOBIs in the native app?

You seem to be the case that I have been worried about, a KF running the google play version of CC. I wasn't sure what would happen.
To answer your question and assuming that there aren't gotchas that I don't know about, to use the native reader app three things must be true:
- The Amazon formats (mobi, azw*, prc) must be in either the /Books folder or in Android/data/com.amazon.kindle/files.
- The device must report its manufacturer as "amazon" (ignore case)
- Books must not be put in subfolders.
The second should be true for all amazon devices, unless rooting them changes that somehow. The third is the default, but you could have changed it.
The first is probably what needs to change. If you go to CC's folder settings and move any Amazon format you are using to /Books (or if you want, move the default there, which is what I do), then the native app can open the books and therefore CC will propose it to you.
Let me know what happens if you go to the trouble of moving the books.
