Paste it in Other CSS Properties.
I also "remove space between paragraphs" and Paragraph indent = 1.4em
I also check all converted epubs for sanity in the viewer before conversion.
So I can't see the point of mobi or azw3 on any non-kindle ereader except via the Kindle Android App.

It strikes me that this isn't really a new feature: they've presumably supported (dual format) mobi for a long time, and one of those formats has long been kf8. But by supporting .azw3, there's no need to require mobi container and the dead weight of a deprecated format along with it.
KOReader has mobi support, too. When running on a Kindle (I have yet to try this), maybe there's some argument to enhance it to open azw3 files in that context (so you can choose to use the Kindle app as well as the KOReader app?), but apart from that...
Thanks for the convert suggestions. I've dabbled with calibre for years, but it took me awhile to finally ingest my entire Kindle library, and with this new device, I have some actual need to convert to ePub.
I'm still curious about why it won't accept the sanitized AZW3. I tried just updating metadata (Download metadata and covers) and it didn't like that, either.
