Unless you pick an ancient Kindle as target, then it's KF7.

It used to be that the extension was azw on download for USB. Seems to be all azw3 extension since February 2021, some older ones are azw4 without human sensible filenames.
No .mobi from Amazon and the azw can be mobi(KF7) or KF8 before Feb 2021.
