> they only allow downloads in .AZW

Do they actually check the file content or just the name?

If the latter, just a .AZW alias to the actual .AZW3 might work ...

(I can't test, don't have a Kindle nowadays)

I don't know. The Kindle browser doesn't have any copy and paste function, so it's difficult to work around any limitation.

I meant the SE site serving ".azw" files that are the same as the .azw3 - I understood that it's the Kindle browser that limits the downloads, right?

Once the files are in the Kindle, it would probably work out OK.
