Is there a workflow to create an AZW book? Spec? Exporter?
Two things...

For right now, the only way to *READ* an AZW (DRM'd) file is with the Amazon Kindle.

Any old PRC file, with the extension changed to AZW is recognized as an un-DRM'd Kindle file. Any un-DRM'd AZW file with extension changed to PRC is recognized by Mobipocket readers. (This is, of course, subject to change at the whim of Amazon.)
