EPUB conversion

mand512 · 03-26-2021, 11:35 AM

I have been converting some children's books with graphics and text aligned relative to the text from AZW/KFX to EPUB. But, the EPUB book when viewed on Moon+ reader ends up "broken." The graphics are the wrong size or missing, the text is not aligned with the graphics, etc. Is there a best conversion practice for making these kind of conversions work?

Are the Kindle eBooks fixed layout? If so, they won't convert correctly.

I didn't like Moon and many other reader apps as they didn't render properly.

I find many apps are poor at CSS and HTML of the ebook. I use Aldiko Classic on old gadgets and Lithium on newer Android.
Koreader can be manually put on Android. I have it on the Likebook Mars.

The books I format look much the same on Sony PRS350, Nook Touch, A Binatone LCD, three different Kindles of three eras, Kobo Touch, Aura H2O, Libra, Mars (On Koreader with appropriate settings), Aldiko Classic and Lithium.

Certain kinds of image embedding has poor compatibility.
