They never deliver KFX, but maybe unless the target Kindle supports KFX, you don't get azw3/KF8. So the KK3 only gets KF7 even though it does support KF8.

The PW3 MOSTLY gets azw3/KF8, but some titles have been azw (47) and two mobi of 339 titles. I've two azw4, no idea what they are.

I suspect if docx or epub uploaded the PW3 gets azw3 and the other files were Mobi uploads. Strangely Raymond Fiest's Magician is azw.

I remember there was one download for PW3 that was .azw and wouldn't "work" in Calibre till I renamed it .mobi, though it worked on the PW3.

I had the PC app for a while on XP years ago because some titles would only download for it. Unavailable on eink. All where badly formatted fixed layout or print replica, useless unless on paper. So I don't download even "free" if doesn't work for PW3 (set as default).

I and wife only read epubs on Kobo.
I know there are still Mobi only eBooks on Amazon. I find it odd that downloading with a web browser if you own a K3/KK given it handles KF8.

As for AZW4, it's a PDF in an Amazon container.
