Allow me to repeat myself...

It doesn't matter if the KINDLE2 driver converts to AZW3 by default (at least for the reasons you stated -- the fact that some KINDLE2 devices do not support AZW3 at all, and never will, is still a reason against).

Because if you then Send-to-Email, the email will not accept an AZW3 and it will perform an additional conversion to MOBI!

So, it really, really, really doesn't make a difference to the device driver, what you might or might not want to do with the Send-to-Device tool.

...

Personally, I would consider it far more sensible to convert to AZW3 and MOBI, so I have AZW3 when sideloading and can still send MOBI through email.
