the file extension is not a reliable guide to what's inside, in these cases. Peeking at the code is the only way I know of to be sure
I have encountered it once before in a game guide that I bought from amazon ( it downloaded as azw) and I gave up trying to convert it once I looked inside). My book would zoom in and out ok, in a kindle for android app, but it would not reflow. Sometimes, amazon may say "print replica" somewhere in the small print on the web site listings for such books

There's a big different between fixed format and print replica. The former uses standard HTML coding, but with everything placed in an exact position (as in the snippet posted for this book). The latter wraps a PDF.
