The AZW4 file extension is used for Amazon Print Replica eBooks. An ebook is an electronic version of a printed book that can be read on various digital devices, such as desktop computers, laptops, tablets, and mobile phones. AZW4 files are in the Adobe Digital Editions format and contain Kindle book content in an enhanced layout with fixed page and landscape orientations. They can only be read on Kindle devices and apps running on iOS and Android mobiles and are not compatible with PCs or Macs.
File Format Overview
AZW4 files store the same content as Amazon's popular .azw format but include extra formatting data that allows for a richer reading experience. The AZW4 file contains a PDF file stored within a wrapping AZW container including any external resources that may be needed to display proper content. In addition to the text content, AZW4 files may also include images, sidebars, videos, audio clips, hyperlinks, interactive elements, tables, and more. AZW4 files also support the enhanced design concepts of typography, such as kerning (character spacing), justification (alignment), as well as text color and text size.
Similar File Extensions
AZW4 files are specific to the Kindle platform and do not work with other devices. Similar ebook formats include .epub, .mobi, .pdf, .IBOOKS, .lit, and others.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .AZW4) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .AZW4 extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .AZW4 file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .AZW4 extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .AZW4 extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .AZW4 file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .AZW4 file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .AZW4 file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .AZW4 file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .AZW4 file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
