There is a way to have personal documents delivered by Amazon over-the-air in AZW3 format.

There is a MOBI variant that contains both the old-style MOBI format and also KF8/AZW3 within the same file. It is known by Amazon as a Master MOBI. It can be created using Amazon's kindlegen or in calibre by setting the MOBI output file type to "both".

When this format is e-mailed to your account Amazon will split it and deliver the MOBI variant to older Kindles and the AZW3 to newer ones.

Edit: Be aware that AZW3 books delivered this way will show only generic cover thumbnails on the Kindle.
