Testing contract

What is a .azw file?
AZW is an early Amazon Kindle e-book container derived from the Palm Database and Mobipocket family. Unencrypted files combine a PalmDB record table with text, metadata, and optional image records; commercial AZW books may carry DRM, which a test fixture should not include or imply it can remove.
How to use this file
Use a small unencrypted example .azw file to test container and record-table detection, metadata extraction, graceful handling of unsupported compression or DRM flags, and validation against documented sample text rather than a filename-only success check.
How to use this file for testing
“Convert v2 DRM-Free AZW E-book” is a deterministic Novus Examples fixture for Conversion testing, Metadata testing. The same content exported across many formats and linked as a group, so you can convert one and diff against the expected twin.
Documented properties for this file: AZW · 30,126 bytes. Compare results against paired or grouped companions on this page when present (clean↔damaged, searchable↔scanned, or format twins) so scores stay reproducible across runs.
Download the file once, keep the path stable in CI or local scripts, and treat the spec table as the contract: dimensions, seeds, field lists, and roles are intentional. Corrupt or invalid samples are labelled as such — expect parsers to fail loudly rather than silently accept them.
E-book fixtures are structured archives documented down to their spine and manifest. Test readers and converters, and where a valid↔intentionally-invalid pair exists, assert graceful handling of the malformed container.
