Reader For Mac
AZW3 format is a variation of AZW and also known as KF8 (Kindle Format 8). It has been released in 2011 when the Kindle fire was launched for the first time. As the Amazon's successor to AZW format, it not only supports most of the HTML5 and CSS3 but also improves the eBook's formatting capabilities. Since it is the exclusive format of Amazon, AZW3 file can only be read on Kindle related devices and softwares. If you don't have a Kindle device, how can you read your AZW3 books? Are there any free readers that you can download to open azw3 ebooks?
Sure, there it is! This is also what I want to share with you today. I am going to share the best 3 AZW3 readers for both Windows and Mac with you. One important thing to be mentioned is that almost Kindle AZW3 files are protected by Kindle DRM. If you want to read Kindle AZW3 books with any reading apps that are not exactly Kindle-related software, you have to remove the DRM from the AZW3 files at first. Here Epubor Ultimate can help you to do so.

1. Kindle for PC/MAC
As the official reading app for Amazon Kindle books, Kindle for PC/MAC supports all Amazon Kindle formats. So it is not suprising that it is on the top of my list.
Firstly, please download Kindle for PC/ Mac.
Then run it on your computer, sign in with your Amazon account. In the library you will see all your books. Just double-click the book cover to start downloading the ebook. Once the book has been downloaded, you can see them in 'Downloaded'. Now click the book cover and start reading.

Kindle for PC/Mac is just used for readers to read and manage books on computer. But here Kindle Previewer is a little bit different. It helps us preview how books display when delivered to Kindle devices and Kindle apps. So the authors, publishers and eBooks service providers will choose to use Kindle Previewer to preview their books before publish their eBooks. So we could even say that Kindle for PC/MAC is designed for eBooks readers, while the kindle previewer is made for eBooks publishers.
Open the AZW3 ebooks to review. You can also set the layout depending on the devices you are using.
3. Calibre's eBook Viewer
Calibre, as a powerful ebook management tool, is not only a free ebook converter, but also a perfect ebook reader. It supports nearly all the major ebook formats, including azw3. Since Calibre can only open DRM-free eBooks, you have to remove the Kindle DRM before adding the AZW3 files to Calibre. You can download the Epubor Ultimate mentioned at the beginning of this article to decrypt your AZW3 files. Once DRM-free AZW3 ebook has been added to Calibre, you can double click the cover to start reading.

Notice: There are many people complaining on some platforms that they have met problems while reading AZW3 books on calibre.
Q1: My Calibre could open my MOBI files but not the AZW3 files. Why?
A: Calibre's viewer supports 22 input ebook formats, but only EPUB, FB2, HTML, LIT, LRF, MOBI, PDB, PRC and RB formats are open in the calibre internal viewer. So for other formats such as AZW3, it will automatically view book files with an external viewer.
You can add AZW3 format manually to Calibre here:
Preferences -> Behavior -> and select the formats you want in the right column.
