Just because you choose Kindle basic doesn't mean calibre will limit you to mobi. You can still send azw3 via usb, if your device supports it. The target device option is there, I think, for conversion.

If you plan to send your ebooks using email, you're still limited to mobi since amazon controls the format it accepts, not calibre. Amazon only accepts mobi via email and no other formats; they discard azw3 and other formats in email transfers. So if you're really hung up on azw3, you have to use usb direct transfer.

Anyways, there really isn't much noticeable improvement using from mobi to azw3, at least in terms of reading experience, imo.
