What is AZW3

You may have heard of azw3 format, but probably you don’t know it much. So at this part I will show you what is azw3 file, when will you get an azw3 file, etc.

AZW3 is one of Kindle ebook’s formats. In other words, AZW3 belongs to Kindle, only used by Amazon Kindle store. So if you got an azw3 file, it must be owned by kindle. In common you will also see somebody called it “KF8”, kindle format 8. It’s more advanced than kindle’s other formats such as mobi, azw, for it supports more layouts, fonts, styles.

Why convert azw3 to pdf

I have said that azw3 file is only supported on Kindle devices, so when we want to read those purchased azw3 books on non-kindle devices, what should we do?

Perhaps somebody will recommend you to use free kindle reading app, but, for kobo glo, sony eReader, what can we do? Those devices couldn’t support installing apps. What’s more, although for some tablets such as iPad, Nexus 7, we can install kindle app, but kindle app only supports kindle books, so if we want to read another books purchased from iBooks, Play Books, we have to change to use another reading app. Don’t you think it’s too messy?
