Why? Awz3 is the native format for Kindles. What motivation would they have to stop you?
Amazon have many "Native" formats. Doc, docx and the preferred epub all convert to all of them. The epub is best. They don't accept ordinary mobi/KF7, azw3/KF8 or KFX for publishing.
They want to send KFX to apps, Fire and Whispernet.
Old Kindle eink and Kindle on iOS uses old mobi/KF7.
They also have fixed layout & periodical mobi for publishing.
There are some defunct formats.
The Kindle eInk, Fire and Apps can also display PDFs.
