Convert MOBI to AZW3

The MOBI file extension, short for Mobipocket eBook, is a format used for storing digital books. Initially developed by Mobipocket SA, it was designed for mobile devices and eReaders, supporting features like bookmarks, notes, and JavaScript. Amazon acquired Mobipocket in 2005, integrating MOBI into its Kindle ecosystem until 2011 when it was replaced by the Kindle Format 8 (KF8). Despite being deprecated, MOBI files remain compatible with various eReaders and software, ensuring continued accessibility for legacy content.

The AZW3 file extension, also known as Kindle Format 8 (KF8), is a proprietary eBook format developed by Amazon. Introduced in 2011 alongside the Kindle Fire, AZW3 supports advanced formatting features such as HTML5 and CSS3, enhancing the visual presentation of eBooks. It is primarily used for Amazon Kindle devices and applications, providing a richer reading experience compared to its predecessor, AZW. The format is backward-compatible with MOBI, ensuring older Kindle devices can still access the content.
