1. I have a personal story I wrote and it's saved in Word.

3. I uploaded the AZW file to Calibre
4. I changed the metadata using Calibre and it says it's still saved as AZW.

My question: Can my Kindle 2 read this AZW after I made the metadata chages? Should I convert it to MOBI instead?

Thanks.
Yes and not. You did not "edit" the .awz file when you change the metadata. You edited the metadata which is stored in the calibre database. However, if you use "send to device" a copy of the .awz is created using the metadata in the database.
