Troubleshooting eBook Format Compatibility - Emmanuel Katto
Hi All, I’ve been having trouble with eBook format compatibility across various e-readers and devices. I wanted to know what are the most reliable tools for converting eBooks between different formats (e.g., EPUB, MOBI, AZW3) without losing formatting or metadata?

Thanks!

Calibre, of course.

Whether you'll lose formatting or not depends on the input format.

Except if you want to OCR and make a docx file and do loads of proofing. A docx with good styles converts perfectly with Calibre. One where computer is used like a glass typewriter will be very very poor.

But yes, mostly PDF is an end point and not a source!
