Convert PRC to EPUB

Understanding PRC and EPUB file formats

PRC files are eBook files primarily associated with the Mobipocket format, often used on older e-readers and some Kindle devices. These files can contain text, images, and formatting for digital books. EPUB (Electronic Publication) is a widely adopted open standard for eBooks, compatible with most modern e-readers, tablets, and smartphones. EPUB files offer better reflowable content and broader device support compared to PRC.

Why convert PRC to EPUB?

Converting PRC to EPUB allows you to read your eBooks on a wider range of devices and applications, such as Apple Books, Google Play Books, and Kobo eReaders. EPUB files also support advanced formatting and accessibility features, making them a preferred choice for most users.
