Convert AZW to PMLZ

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 PMLZ file extension stands for Zipped Palm Markup Language, developed by Palm Inc. It is a compressed archive containing one or more Palm Markup Language (PML) files, used to create eBooks in the Palm Database (PDB) format for Palm PDAs. With the decline in popularity of Palm devices, PMLZ files have become less common. Users can open PMLZ files using zip-decompression utilities like 7-Zip.
