Howdy Friends,

I've just noticed that the Web browser on my PW no longer will no longer allow me to download an AZW3 file from the calibre web server. Error is "Invalid File Type... Only files with the extension .AZW, .PRC, .MOBI, or .TXT".

This is new behaviour on the Kindle, prior to firmware 5.16.4 it would allow .AZW3 downloads.

Seems lie a bug to me on the Kindle side, but not sure if there is some way that calibre can help work around it.

Thanks,
Arthur
