You're here because you have a file that has a file extension ending in .tpz. Files with the file extension .tpz can only be launched by certain applications. It's possible that .tpz files are data files rather than documents or media, which means they're not meant to be viewed at all.
what is a .tpz file?
A Kindle Topaz ebook file is generally classified as a data file, and these Kindle Topaz ebook files are used by Kindle devices manufactured by Amazon as the file format of ebooks downloaded from the online Kindle ebook database of Amazon. The Amazon Kindle desktop application can also be used to collect these Kindle Topaz ebook files because the Kindle desktop software also uses these data files as the file format of ebooks downloaded from Amazon's online database of Kindle ebooks. These Kindle Topaz ebook files are integrated with text formatting and binary data compilation standards proprietary to Amazon for the TPZ file format, which means these Kindle Topaz ebook files are stored in the TPZ format. The content of these Kindle Topaz ebook files are also encoded with custom standards integrated by Amazon for files affixed with the .tpz extension. Advanced embedded font support is implemented into these Kindle Topaz ebook files, and auxiliary details like annotations and bookmarks can also be entered into these Kindle Topaz ebook files, though these metadata details are stored in different files. The Calibre software can also be installed in computers running on Microsoft Windows-based systems, Mac platforms and Linux distributions to implement support for opening and viewing the content of these TPZ files.

what is a file extension?
A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .tpz. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
