Convert AZW to LRF

The AZW file extension, standing for Amazon Word, is a proprietary eBook format developed by Amazon for its Kindle devices. Introduced in 2007, AZW files are based on the MOBI format, offering enhanced compression and DRM protection to prevent unauthorized copying. These files store eBooks along with bookmarks, annotations, and last-read locations. Initially used on first-generation Kindles, AZW has evolved into AZW3 (KF8) and KFX formats, supporting advanced features like HTML5 and CSS3. AZW files are primarily used for distributing and reading eBooks on Kindle devices and apps.

The LRF (Sony Portable Reader File) is a proprietary eBook format developed by Sony for its eReaders, such as the Sony Reader. It stores eBooks and textual content in a compressed binary format, including text, images, and pagination data. Introduced as part of the Broad Band eBook (BBeB) family, LRF files are unencrypted, whereas their encrypted counterparts use the LRX extension. The format became obsolete in 2010 when Sony transitioned to the EPUB format. Despite its obsolescence, LRF files can still be opened and converted using various software tools.
