Ebook File Converters

EPUB is the most widely supported open format. MOBI was developed for the Kindle ecosystem. PDF preserves exact layout but lacks reflowability. AZW/AZW3 are Amazon's proprietary formats with DRM capabilities.

Choosing the Right Format

Use EPUB for most e-readers and apps, MOBI/AZW for Kindle devices, PDF for documents where layout is critical, and TXT for maximum compatibility with simple text content.
