.azw4 file extension is a file format developed by Amazon and is used by applications specifically designed for e-readers. It is mainly found on Kindle e-reader devices, a Kindle software is also available for desktops that allows interpretation and reading of azw4 files. It is used to read e-books normally purchased online. The greatest benefit that comes with using azw4 is that text does not have to stay static, so files transferred from a device with a larger screen to one with a smaller screen are adjusted and one does not have to zoom in order to read.
The LRF format is a proprietary format developed by Sony in collaboration with Canon, as a document and text encoding standard for the Broad Band eBook file format. The format specifically targeted Sony portable eBook readers and was capable of encoding both text, pagination, and images. Being unencrypted, LRF encoded files do not enforce DRM. This is in contrast to the LRX format which is also part of the BBeB eBook file format which does support encryption for DRM files. The Sony eBook store announced in July 2010 a discontinuation of support for the LRF format in favor of the public and open EPUB format.
