I only have a kindle for conversion purposes (it's an old one).
When I tried to do that today, the document turned up in a different format - KFX instead of the usual AZW3. Does anyone know how I can get the book into an AZW3 format instead?
(Alternatively, any suggestions for a decent conversion to epub from PDF? The native Calibre one is bad.)

I assume you are choosing
Make layout adjustable in the Send to Kindle options, to have Send to Kindle attempt conversion to Kindle adjustable layout format. In the past this generated AZW3 for Kindle but recently they began sending KFX to newer Kindles.
You can use
KFX Input plugin to convert the KFX on your Kindle to ePub. However, you need to use the plugin command line interface to do so; for some reason calibre will not let you add KFX and then convert it as you might have in done with AZW3 in the past.
Click the Spoiler button for Command Line Interface for instructions on how to do so.

There are many other tools to convert PDF to ePub, but the results will vary.
Is your Kobo that bad at reading PDF? that would obviously be a lot less trouble.
