"AZW3" is an extension invented by Calibre, as far as I can tell. It would be more sensible to rename a KF8 file to either ".mobi" or ".azw" to match what Amazon use.

Thanks - I'm obviously wrong about it not being an extension used by Amazon.

Nope. azw3 is the extension amazon uses for all pure kf8 files it sends to kindle devices. Why would you think I'd go around inventing my own file extensions, there's enough confusion around amazon's ebook formats already.

I personally think that .AZW3 is far superior compared to .AZW. |
