.tzw can't be stripped yet, but is only (my rough estimation) about 10% of Amazon's books. What I really don't like (else being a fan of Amazon's business model): You don't see which format you'll purchase, whether it's .azw or .tpz.
.azw vs .tzw format question --- can't you just download the sample chapter? Whatever format that is in, the full version should be the same, right?
