Why not just load the file over the USB cable?

= = = =

A quick guess here:

As the 5.6.x series of firmware expects that an *.azw3 file will have a shit-load of "sidecar" related files - -
Since it can only download by asin - -
If the book you are loading by send-to-kindle does not have an Amazon asin (so that 5.6.x can find the related files) - -
Then it must have to change it to *.mobi (or anything else that does not bundle the 'sidecar' files).

- - - -

Note:
*.azw3 file format has been supported since the series 3.x firmware - -
And the new 5.6.x series **can** display those older (without 'sidecar' files) books.

It is apparently the send-to-kindle path that places the stricter requirements on the fileset.
