Just thought it was interesting. Don't know if Amazon is trying something new.
Not really.

AZW = 'old' MOBI6 files.

AZW1 = Topaz format, also seen as .tpz

AZW3 = 'new' MOBI files (aka 'KF8')

AZW4 = Print Replica files (PDFs in a Mobi wrapper)

I don't know if AZW2 ever existed in the wild, or even what it was
