AZW
.AZW — is an ebook file format developed by Amazon for their own ebook reader Kindle. This format reads ebooks that are protected by DRM (digital rights management) and this protection is the only difference between AZW and MOBI.

For scanning texts that are not oriented to recognition: manuscripts, parchments, and other historical documents, or to digitize books and publish them in a web interface.
DOCX

They will look the same from any device. These files actually store fonts and electronic formatting between different platforms and appear on the screen just as if they were printed on paper. Google, Bing, and other search engines are currently indexing PDF documents that can be viewed in a web browser using the free Adobe Reader plugin.
