Changing default send to device file type?

Hello-

Now realizing i can't use custom fonts on any of my books uploaded to kindle as they are all .mobi files on the device.

Is the only fix deleting them all from the device and then re-sending to device as .azw3?

If so, is there a way to change the default conversion output file type when hitting 'send to device'?

Right click the device icon in calibre ad customize the device driver, moving azw3 to the top of the list.

Thanks, is there any disadvantage to using .azw3 over .mobi?

None whatsoever, MOBI is default only because there are some still old Kindles that dont support azw3
