| Description | 🔵 When Amazon launched the Kindle in 2007, they didn't just release a device; they released AZW. This format was the bridge between the old-school MOBI files (which Amazon bought out in 2005) and the more modern stuff we use today. While it’s basically an evolution of MOBI, AZW was a huge leap in efficiency. It managed to shrink file sizes significantly, which was a lifesaver back when device storage was a massive bottleneck. You can find it running on any Kindle or even through the Kindle app on your phone. |
| Technical details | 🔵 Technically, AZW is much 'stickier' than its predecessor. While it compresses files faster and better than MOBI, it’s also where Amazon started getting serious about DRM (Digital Rights Management). Instead of locking a book to a specific gadget, the format ties the file to your actual Amazon account. It’s a 'read anywhere, but don't share' approach. One of the more unique—and sometimes annoying—quirks of AZW is how it handles metadata. Unlike open formats where you can easily swap out cover art or change the series order, AZW is remarkably restrictive. It locks down the book’s 'identity card' (author info, covers, etc.), which is actually a bit of a godsend for managing massive libraries where you don't want your series order getting scrambled. It’s a closed-loop system designed to prioritize a clean, consistent user experience over the 'wild west' flexibility of older formats. |
