OK. I might be the majority of Kindle/Calibre users, whose device in fact supports AZW3 (for ages).

I still have no idea how to set the now fully supported AZW3 output (file format with better features, such as nicer images) as default. Anyone could give me a hand?

@Kovild, I truly appreciate your work, but how about thinking a little like Apple in a way that if 90% of your users already have devices supporting the newer, better file format such as AZW3, then why punish them by defaulting them to a legacy format may be less than 10% use. Maybe it's just me, but I don't understand. (Not to mention with firmware update many of those older Kindle devices also support AZW3)

With respect.
