Technical Details
Format Structure Analysis
AZW files use Amazon’s modified MOBI container with proprietary compression, while EPUB uses standard ZIP compression with XHTML content. Our converter translates the Amazon-specific markup into W3C-compliant XHTML and CSS for maximum compatibility.
Typography and Layout Conversion
The converter maps AZW’s Kindle-specific typography features to EPUB’s CSS-based styling system. This includes font embedding, line spacing, margin controls, and text alignment while ensuring the content remains reflowable across different screen sizes.
Metadata and Navigation Preservation
Book metadata including title, author, publication date, and cover art are extracted from AZW’s Amazon-specific fields and mapped to Dublin Core metadata standards used by EPUB. Navigation structures and table of contents are converted to EPUB’s NCX format.
