What should the file have been detected as? What has the file been misdetected as?

Some Kindle EBooks are being misdetected as CD-ROM archives.

Please link or attach the misdetected file below (Do NOT upload PII!)

heading-reflowable-libreoffice_3.azw3.zip

Additional context

This particular ebook format is Kindle Format 8, one in which you may download purchased ebooks from Amazon. So generally the files likely contain licensed material, but you may convert ePUBs into this format, like I did with the sample file above (not licensed material).

$ magika -r -m high-confidence ~/Documents/heading-reflowable-libreoffice_3.azw3
