Convert AZW to PDF

Understanding AZW and PDF file formats

The AZW file format is primarily associated with Amazon's Kindle eBook reader. It is a proprietary format used for eBooks that are downloaded from Amazon's Kindle Store. AZW files are based on the MOBI file format but include Amazon's own DRM protection and other features.

On the other hand, the PDF (Portable Document Format) is a versatile file format developed by Adobe. It is widely used for documents that need to be shared and printed consistently across different devices and platforms. PDFs maintain the formatting of a document, making them ideal for eBooks, reports, and other documents that require a fixed layout.
