Kindle: AZW3 instead of MOBI?

I have so far used MOBI on my Kindle, although I keep all my books as EPUBs in Calibre. When I use "Send to Device", Calibre asks me if I want to auto-convert and when I say "yes", it converts them to MOBI and uploads them.

I've now discovered that AZW3 seems to be a much better format (MOBI shows an inline TOC as a bulleted list, even though it is without bullets in the EPUB, justified text is displayed with a ragged margin if the Kindle thinks the spaces between words would be too wide, and it doesn't break lines on hyphens or dashes, whereas AZW£ seems to break at least on hyphens).

I can convert manually from EPUB to AZW3 (I want to keep my "master" copies as EPUBs), but I can't find a way to get Calibre to auto-convert to AZW3 instead of MOBI. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
