Firstly why the kindle icon is different though in calibre (in the kindle folder it is blue) and secondly how I add the kindle book when I already have the epub version in calibre.
I am guessing by in "the kindle folder' you are referring to what you see in one of the Kindle programs - maybe the Kindle Reading App.

The icons shown on files in Windows Explorer is the icon associated with program that Opens the file. The program you use to open a given file type is configured for your computer. So you might have your computer configured to open PDF files with Acrobat, hence your PDF files will show an icon something like this

I open PDF files with PDF xchange so my PDF files show an icon something like this

Of the 25 program icons I have on my task bar alone, 7 are predominantly blue. So describing things in terms of icon colours is not very helpful. This is what an AZW3 file looks like on my computer

Which is the same as what you posted before, its 'blank' because I haven't told Windows what program to use for opening AZW3 files - because I never wanted to open one from Windows Explorer.

The easiest way to add an AZW3 file to an existing book, that already has an ePUB is like this

A single book can have many different types of ebook format files, but only one of each ebook type - ie one ePUB, and one AZW3, and one PDF etc.
