help FAQ

Why would I convert AZW3 to MOBI instead of EPUB?

If you specifically need Kindle compatibility and your target device does not support AZW3, MOBI is the fallback. For reading on non-Kindle devices, converting to EPUB is usually a better choice.

Will formatting be preserved?

Some advanced AZW3 formatting features may not carry over to MOBI since the older format has fewer capabilities. Basic text, chapters, and images are preserved.
