Don't get hung up on formats-99% of books work just fine as basic mobis and are indistinguishable from the epub source. The bigger concern is DRM (which can be automatically stripped by Calibre). Kindlegen is an unnecessary pain in the ass-there's no reason to be putzing with the command line when Calibre has a more powerful conversion process that's easier to use. Comic books and extremely complex layouts may require some attention, but the rest are dead simple.
All 3 formats are really just xtml and css. In practice, there's little difference between ePub/mobi/azw3 for most books and converting between these formats is usually very accurate. Also, if you're a power user or plan to have more than a couple hundred books, you're going to want to use Calibre anyhow. If you want greater control over the conversion process or plan to do any of a myriad of other things, then use Calibre. If you want a quick and dirty solution either use BookDrop or send the file to your kindle email. People seem to be making this much more complicated than it needs to be. Is there any way at all to get AZW3 ebooks onto the Amazon Personal Document Service? (For me, storing the books on the cloud is better and more accessible from multiple devices, rather than needing to transfer it physically via USB). However, you can transfer AZW3 to the Kindle via a USB cable.ĭoes anybody know why this limitation exists? I know Kindle has a "Send to Kindle" feature, but this only seems to accept MOBI and AZW - it doesn't seem to accept AZW3 (including AZW3 files renamed to. I've heard that apparently AZW3 (KF8) is more similar to ePUB, so apparently Calibre's ePUB -> AZW3 will be better than Kindlegen's ePBU -> MOBI. I can also use Calibre, which will convert ePUB to any number of formats (MOBI, AZW, AZW3 etc.)įirst question - which is better for conversion from ePUB, Kindlegen or Calibre? I'm trying to figure out the best way to get these onto my Kindle, whilst still trying to keep as close to the original text.įor conversion, I know there's Amazon's Kindlegen program, which can convert ePUB to the older MOBI format.
