AZW3 (also called KF8) is a new format adopted by Amazon Kindle books. If you have synced your Kindle books via Kindle E-reader, you may find books from Kindle E-ink devices are usually azw3 format. If you want to directly transfer them from one Kindle device to another Kindle device or device of other manufacturers, you won’t succeed for most of the time. Why? Because Books purchased from Amazon are usually Kindle DRM protected. For DRM AZW3 books, you can’t directly copy them to another device. What’s more, most devices on the market like Sony, Kobo, Nook E-Reader only support EPUB and PDF format, no supporting for Kindle AZW3 format. To solve both of these two problems, you need AZW3 converter to help you.
