How to open AZM file?

The most common problem when using Amazon Kindle Data Format is that a specific AZM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open AZM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AZM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install Amazon Kindle

The first step is to check if the computer has the Amazon Kindle program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Amazon Kindle in it.

Programs to open AZM file

Remember to download programs supporting AZM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Amazon Kindle with AZM files

If, despite the installed application, the AZM file does not start in the Amazon Kindle application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the AZM file with the Amazon Kindle application.

Step 3. Update Amazon Kindle to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Amazon Kindle program with the Amazon Kindle Data Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Amazon.com, Inc. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AZM file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The AZM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to AZM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AZM file. Sometimes virus-infected AZM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the AZM files changes over time. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AZM files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file AZM except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move AZM to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AZM file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
