Understanding AZW to RTF Conversion

What is an AZW File?

AZW is a file format developed by Amazon for use with their Kindle e-readers. It's essentially a modified version of the Mobipocket format and often includes DRM (Digital Rights Management) to protect copyrighted content. AZW files are primarily used for ebooks purchased or downloaded from the Amazon Kindle store.

While AZW is widely used within the Kindle ecosystem, its proprietary nature can limit its compatibility with other devices and software.
