Step 1. Install Amazon Kindle

Programs to open TPZ file
Remember to download programs supporting TPZ files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Amazon Kindle with TPZ files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the TPZ file still does not use the Amazon Kindle program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the TPZ file with the Amazon Kindle program.
Step 3. Update Amazon Kindle to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Amazon Kindle program, it is possible that Kindle Topaz EBook Format requires a newer version of the program. In this case, use the Amazon.com, Inc. website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TPZ file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the TPZ file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TPZ file. Sometimes virus-infected TPZ files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TPZ file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair TPZ file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Amazon
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file TPZ 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 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. It is best to move TPZ to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TPZ to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TPZ file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
