Send to Kindle or email to Kindle do not support KF8/azw3 format. If you take a look at Learn About Sending Documents to Your Kindle Library, you won't find it on the list of supported formats. If you send an epub/docx/rtf/html, it will be converted to KF8/azw3 if the device it's sent to supports that format, for devices that don't support KF8/azw3, you will get a mobi format ebook.
