.cbz is a file extension which stands for Comic Book Zip Archive. Multiple images, usually .JPEG and .PNG, are organized and saved into comic-like pages. CBZ file format is used to view and compress multiple files into a single file for convenience. The CBZ file extension does this by allowing the user to manipulate large files to their liking.
The American company Amazon is a recognized powerhouse when it comes to all things related to books. Their proprietary eBook readers dubbed the Kindle which was first released in 2007 is a testament to this. The .azw file format is the filename extension associated with eBooks designed to be read on Amazon's proprietary Kindle device and through their free but closed source Kindle software for smartphones, PCs, and Macs. The format is incompatible with any device other than kindle and its associated software. In order to open files saved in this format on non-kindle devices, one would have to convert the file to another format such as the open ePub format or PDF. Some converters can also convert other formats into .azw files which can later be opened on a kindle device or application.

.CBZ file is a .ZIP file which has been renamed in order to differentiate it from a general image viewer to a specialized one for comic books. The .cbz file extension was developed at about the same time as the .cbr file format because they were both made popular by CDisplay image viewer developed by David Ayton and released in April 2004. CDR and CBZ formats were first supported by CDisplay application.
Because the AZW format restricts content to kindle devices and software, it has become a popularized format for authors wishing to enforce digital rights management and copyright restrictions over their content. It supports richly formatted text and enables documents to be reflowable i.e. able to be presented on a multitude of devices with varying screen sizes.
