This makes no sense to me. AZW3 is nothing like a ZIP file.

Which Kindle app are you referring to?
The Kindle Cloud Reader is a web browser app that accesses purchased books from your Amazon account. It can't handle local files or AZW3 format.

The Kindle should look like a USB drive when connected. You would copy the file to its documents folder and eject. (Assuming that you can get the proper file.)
