HRZ to AZW3 conversion is the process of transforming image-based HRZ files into the AZW3 eBook format used by Kindle devices and apps. This conversion repackages raster or layout content contained in HRZ into the AZW3 container (which supports HTML/CSS-based reflowable content and embedded images) so the file displays properly on Kindle readers.
