I saw on these forums that azw3 format supports asian scripts, so I used calibre to convert the doc to azw3. But when I sent it to my kindle keyboard email address, I received an error message that the format is not supported. So I tried it on my wife's kindle fire HD, but got the same message back.

Any idea what I can try next?

Thanks.
You need to send 'hybrid' files. In calibre you need to pick MOBI (not AZW3) and Mobi file type of 'both'. Then it should be accepted by personal documents service. Then you can see if it worked...
