Programs to open AZW1 file
Remember to download programs supporting AZW1 files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Amazon Kindle with AZW1 files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the AZW1 file to open in the Amazon Kindle application, but you can set it manually. 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. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Amazon Kindle application as the default for handling the AZW1 file.
Step 3. Update Amazon Kindle to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Amazon Kindle program, it is possible that Amazon Topaz EBook requires a newer version of the program. 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 AZW1 file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the AZW1 file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AZW1 or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AZW1 file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of AZW1 file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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 this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AZW1 file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Amazon
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AZW1 files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the AZW1 file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. 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.
