Amazon is not using the MobiPocket format. Currently awz-files happens to be the same as MobiPocket files but that can change anytime since Amazon has easy control over the upgrade of all readers for the format. I suspect we will soon see a change in Amazon books that makes it impossible for them to work on certain MobiPocket readers.
