AZW (eBook)
| File extension | .azw |
| Category | eBook File |
| Description | The AZW file type was developed by Amazon for use with their range of Kindle eBook readers. The proprietary format is used for eBooks that require DRM protection. The file format is the same as the MOBI file type which is used for eBooks that do not require DRM protection. |
| Actions | |
| Technical Details | The AZW format is extremely similar to the MOBI format but boasts superior compression rates and also includes Amazon's own DRM. The DRM works by restricting usage of the file to the device id which is linked to the user details of the owner. A disadvantage of the format is that it does not allow for series related metadata to be added to the file. |

MOBI (eBook)
| File extension | .mobi |
| Category | eBook File |
| Description | The file type .mobi is an eBook format created by a French eBook company called Mobipocket which created a free software application for multiple devices including PDAs, smartphones and tablet devices. The company was bought by Amazon in 2005 and the support of the .mobi file extension was officially discontinued in 2011 with the AZW format superseding it. |
| Actions | |
| Technical Details | The eBook format is based on XHTML and also allows for frames and JavaScript. The format supports DRM protection, images and tables. It also allows for interactive actions such as adding notes, corrections, annotations and bookmarking. The format was designed to optimise certain elements such as images for mobiel devices on low bandwidth. |
