Kindle Previewer 2.9 outputs AZK file for iOS

Kindle Previewer 2.9, released on June 19th, has a new feature to allow testing KF8 files on Kindle for iOS.

Kindle for iOS has never read the KF8 portion of a mobi file when sideloading the book, so up until then, it was simply not possible to test KF8 files (or at least FXL books, which is what I am experienced in) on Kindle for iPad (which sucked because Amazon's ingestion process often had issues with making books available for iPad when no issue happened making them available to other Kindle devices/apps, such as when using SVG).

Kindle Previewer 2.9, as described in its released notes, will output an AZK file that can be sideloaded into an iOS device via iTunes, whose KF8 content fork will be read properly by Kindle for iOS.

Anyone knows how this file is different from an input mobi and why iOS needs it instead of the regular mobi? KindleUnpack 0.62 will not accept it as an input file.
