Anyway, the tech support told me the following:

It's accessible from your CLOUD. What's there isn't necessarily the same file as what x-ferred to your Kindle for PC app--and in fact, I'd bet real money that it isn't. That's why KindleGen makes various file types, to address different readers and tablets. That's why Amazon expressly asks you to which of your registered Kindle devices/readers you are transferring the file. Moreover, they don't want you to be able to x-fer a file from one device to another without them knowing it, basically; otherwise, DRM-wise (or not, and folks, don't wanna get in some big long DRM/anti-DRM argument here, please!), you could be x-ferring your AZW3 file to John Doe's iPad, right?
So: just tap the cover in your K4iOS app OR Kindle Cloud Reader and download the file that way. It will work just fine.
