What is a .WEBZ file?
The .WEBZ file extension is used for a type of eBook file known as a WEBZ Compressed eBook File. This file is specifically designed to be used with an eBook reader called Web Books Viewer. The Web Books Viewer is a special program that allows you to read eBooks directly in your web browser, without needing to download any additional software.
A .WEBZ file contains all the parts of an eBook, including the text (which is stored in HTML files), any images that are part of the book, and CSS files which are used to style the eBook's pages. All of these components are packed together into a single .ZIP archive that is compressed to save space. This means the file is smaller and easier to download or share.
When you want to read an eBook stored in a .WEBZ file, you simply open it in the Web Books Viewer. The Viewer will then decompress the .ZIP archive and display the eBook's contents, allowing you to read the book in your web browser just like you would view a webpage.
However, it's important to note that the Web Books Publishing Web Books Viewer, which is the program designed to open .WEBZ files, has been discontinued. This means it might be difficult to find this program for download or use. If you have a .WEBZ file and cannot access the Web Books Viewer, you might need to look for alternative ways to open or convert the file into a different eBook format that is supported by other eBook readers.
