If I want to avoid the store and distribute the book for Kindle without any DRM, are MOBI/PDF formats most suitable to achieve that? I've seen some books with the AZW3 extension, can KindleGen make it?
Do I have any other options?

I may be mistaken, but I think the EULA for Amazon’s publishing tools prohibit sale outside of their platform (though you can give books made with them away freely). Amazon’s “publishing tools” are basically kindlegen, Previewer, and I would assume the autoconversion at the KDP dash itself. I figure this is why most off-site offerings are EPUBs with a big explainer about sideloading, the support needs of which being a big ball of wax onto itself. Being basically your question here, plus many more we couldn’t even dream of, but instead of being asked here your customers are asking them of you.
