As a coupe other people have pointed out, the advantage of emailing your book is that it gets save to the Amazon cloud so that it's available on any device and the reading progress is tracked. That doesn't happen when you sideload a book via USB because it's not added to the Amazon cloud.
Anyway, every time I've tried to send an azw3 to my Kindle it's been rejected as an unsupported format. Which I realize makes no sense since that's the preferred format. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Perhaps I need to correct something in the Calibre settings, like the UTF-8 encoding I'm now doing with epub?
