All I'm saying is that the following sentence, as quoted, does not correspond to reality:
To me, this is not a big deal because (as stated last year) I convert all e-books to EPUB anyway, due to the inferiority of the Kindle e-reader in all its mutations, but for those users who prefer to stick with the Kindle format(s), it might be worth pointing out that getting AZW files accepted on an iPad is not always (or not usually, or never) as easy as simply changing the file extension. It really might be worth performing a full-fledged conversion to MOBI instead, for example in Calibre – after all, that only takes a few seconds as well.

In regard to viewing personally created KF8 files on the iPad:
If you want to preview personal AZW3/KF8 files (that you've created yourself) on an iPad, there's one--and only one--way to do so. You must use KindlePreviewer to create a special AZK file and then sideload it using iTunes. All other ways (other than downloading a commercially prepared/sold KF8) result in you seeing a mobi-only conversion or the mobi-only portion of the dual-format kindlegen output. In short: if you're not purchasing an AZW3/KF8 from Amazon, or creating an AZK with KindlePreviewer to sideload via iTunes.... you're seeing a plain-jane mobi on the iPad (regardless of what the file extension might be).

... and in the case of KindleGen output, the plain-jane MOBI tends to be of atrocious quality, so one might as well save the trouble and convert to (preferably) EPUB instead, in a more capable converter such as Calibre. I think that is what the original poster of this thread eventually did, and good for him.
