ePub is the most widely used eBook format, and it’s a powerful platform. But it doesn’t mean it’s the only one you’ll ever need because ePub files don’t work on Amazon Kindle devices. Instead, Amazon uses a proprietary format called MOBI (NowAZW3). In this walkthrough, we will be explaining how to convert ePub To Mobi.
There are many ebook converter online tools that you can use to convert your ebooks from ePub format. Some are even available to download for free.
There are two main reasons you might want to convert a file to MOBI/AZW3:
