Convert EPUB to KF8

Understanding EPUB and KF8 file formats

EPUB (Electronic Publication) is a widely used eBook format that is based on web standards. It is designed to be reflowable, meaning the text can adapt to different screen sizes, making it ideal for reading on various devices. EPUB files are supported by many eReaders, including Apple Books and Google Play Books.

KF8 (Kindle Format 8) is Amazon's proprietary eBook format, also known as AZW3. It supports advanced formatting options, including HTML5 and CSS3, and is used for Kindle devices and apps. KF8 files offer enhanced typesetting and layout capabilities, making them suitable for complex eBooks with rich media content.
