I downloaded for USB transfer the sample of a random bloaty-looking title (1894 kb) which came through as ".azw" (I think actual Topaz samples are still .tpz for USB transfer books). It opened okay in Kindle Previewer, but seems to be taken up entirely with the front cover and has no text inside.
So part of the huge filesizes may be due to having large cover images and maybe they're counting these things as KF8 format or whatever now.
And typically Topaz books have Look Inside samples which are taken directly from the print book or have ones that look like Topaz innards, rather than these, which have mostly looked like Mobi-format samples in the ones I tried. |
Thx. I tried a few and did get azw (and it does look like huge cover scans on many, so not much to sample) -- tpz should be the topaz download samples (azw1 on kindle device files), while the KF8's are (I think) a 4 at the end (2 is a game and I've seen some 3's also).
