Rule of thumb for telling AZW from TPZ is again to look at the Product Details.

If there's a File Size in KB (possibly followed by a Print Length in pages carried over from any paper edition), then it's in Amazon's version of Mobipocket.

If it's only got the Print Length and no File Size whatsoever, then it's the dreaded Topaz format.

You can also download samples to try, and they'll be in the same format as the book itself, with the corresponding appropriate extension if you have an actual Kindle and select "Transfer via Computer" when sampling (doesn't work for Kindle for Mac; everything gets listed as .azw, regardless).
