You cannot upload either MOBI or AZW3 to KDP for a reflowable book. MOBI was previously allowed, but is no longer for good reasons. AZW3 was never possible for KDP.

Your best choice is to upload an EPUB file. At a minimum you should see how it looks in Amazon's Kindle Previewer with Enhanced Typesetting. A more professional approach would be to also use Amazon's tools (not calibre) to produce a Master MOBI (MOBI7 + KF8) and see how that looks on various actual Kindle devices.
