If you are an eBook lover, you are probably familar with AZW3 format. It is a variation of AZW and also known as KF8 (Kindle Format 8). Compared with other Kindle formats, such as Mobi or AZW, it's more advanced because it supports more fonts, layouts and styles. Currently, most of the books purchased from Amazon are already in AZW3 format, while the previous mainstream MOBI format is becoming less and less.
