Good call. I diffed the files and found all the carriage returns in the original file had been replaced with newlines. But that wasn't the fault of the Kindle browser. I was using a web interface to upload this particular file to my ftp server, while the other ones that worked had been uploaded via an ftp app. Turns out, this web UI was changing the file as it was uploaded, which is bizarre, since it's a binary file. Downloading the file via Chrome shows the same character swaps.

Bottom line: .azw3 files work fine when downloaded via the Kindle browser. Just make sure you upload them correctly.
