AZW3 (not AZW!) supports richer formatting: things like real drop caps and embedded fonts. These probably don't matter that much in the average novel, but can be very important in some books. To give an example, I have an Egyptian grammar book that just couldn't have been done as Mobi because it uses an embedded font for Egyptian hieroglyphs. A specialist example, to be sure, but it is an example of a book that wouldn't work as Mobi.
