I downloaded a book from Amazon which was being offered for free as a tie-in to the author's new book which was being released. I tried adding it to Calibre and got a message that it was a Topaz file. When I looked in the "My Kindle Content" folder it had an .azw extension but when I opened it up in Notepad++ the file started with TPZ0.
