AZW eBook Format

AZW Converter

The AZW ebook format was created by Amazon to use with its Kindle ereaders. AZW is sometimes known as the Kindle File Format. The files can contain interactive contents pages and book navigation, as well as the main content of the book and basic graphics. Like the earlier MOBI files, AZW files are normally protected by digital rights management (DRM) technology. DRM is intended to stop users from copying and sharing whole books or sections with other users.

In 2011, Amazon introduced the newer AZW3 format which has more functionality than AZW. However, AZW files should still be readable on most newer Kindles, and you can also download the Kindle app for smartphones, tablets, PCs and Macs. Because it’s Amazon’s proprietary format, AZW files will not open with most other ereaders, but you may be able to open them with Calibre’s ebook software. AZW and AZW3 ebooks are available to purchase from the Amazon Kindle Store.

AZW3 eBook Format

AZW3 Converter

AZW3 is an ebook file format developed by Amazon and is also known as an Amazon KF8 eBook file. AZW3 replaced AZW as the main ebook format for Amazon Kindle ereaders and the Kindle app. AZW3 files have some extra features that weren’t in the original AZW files, including more support for illustrations and different fonts.

If you buy a Kindle ebook from Amazon, it will download to your device as an AZW3 file by default. AZW3 files have built-in digital rights management (DRM) protection to prevent copyright theft and sharing. Because they were developed specifically for Amazon Kindles, AZW3 files will not usually open on other ereaders or mobile devices without additional software. However, you can download the Amazon Kindle App for free, or another app, like Calibre, that can read AZW3 files.
