After my own playing around, I believe that only kfx format supports page flip.

As for azw and azw3, I see no advantage. If I have an azw file accessible through the Files app on my iPad, I cannot select it and open in Kindle, nor can I download from Calibre server to Kindle, so in that sense, azw and kfx are the same.

And nothing but kfx gives me the prime reason for using the Kindle app--page flip.

I did discover that I don't need iMazing to wirelessly transfer kfx to my iPad using my Mac. When connected to the Mac via USB, the iPad shows in Finder. there is a checkbox option under General that allows the iPad to show up in Finder when only connected via wifi. This works just as well as iMazing for kfx file transfers.
