Why pocketbooks do not support azw3

I was wondering, why Pocketbooks do not support AZW3 format? Is it a licensing issue? Onyx devices seem to support it. Calibre has no problems with it so the software is available. AZW3 is just a modified epub anyway, no?

I got my hand around a Pocketbook reader and I am thinking if I should keep it - all my library is in AZW3. It is easy enough to convert, but I was somewhat surprised AZW3 was not supported.

Pretty sure it's a licensing issue. "AZ" stands for Amazon. And isn't AZW3 based on .mobi, not ePub?
