Description | AZW3 - Kindle Format 8 (KF8) is Amazon's newer version of AZW. It supports HTML5 and CSS3 which were not supported through the standard AZW format. It has a number of other formatting options and is used by Amazon for all new Amazon eBooks. It is supported by fourth-generation Kindle devices running firmware version 4.1.0 or later and the Kindle Fire device. | MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 Audio Layer III, more commonly referred to as MP3, is an audio coding format for digital audio which uses a form of lossy data compression. It is a common audio format for consumer audio streaming or storage, as well as a de facto standard of digital audio compression for the transfer and playback of music on most digital audio players. |
Technical details | KF8 (also called AZW3) is essentially a compiled ePub that has utlises a Palm database and Amazon's DRM scheme. It targets ePub 3 version support but existing ePub can also be used. The internal format has been decoded using mobi_unpack. The basic format remains as a PDB file similar in structure to a MOBI. More oftent than not a KF8 file will contain both a MOBI file at the beginning and the newer KF8 version of ePub later. | The use of lossy compression is designed to greatly reduce the amount of data required to represent the audio recording and still sound like a faithful reproduction of the original uncompressed audio. An MP3 file that is created using the setting of 128 kbit/s will result in a file that is about 1/11 the size of the CD file created from the original audio source. |
