Convert TCR to AZW

The TCR file extension stands for Text Compressed for Readability, originally used by Psion Series 3 palmtop devices in the early 1990s. It stores eBooks in a proprietary format that offers better compression than PalmDOC, making it suitable for the limited storage of handheld devices. Despite the discontinuation of Psion devices, TCR files can still be read using modern eReaders like Sumatra PDF.

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.
