What to expect

  • Only DRM-free AZW3 files convert - books bought from the Kindle Store are locked and will fail or produce an empty file.
  • All formatting, headings, bold, italic, tables, and images are stripped; the output is continuous plain prose with no layout.
  • Output text is UTF-8 encoded; re-encode in a text editor if a downstream tool requires a different encoding.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my `AZW3` file fail to convert?
The most common cause is DRM - Kindle books bought from Amazon are copy-protected, so converters reject them or produce an empty file. Only DRM-free AZW3 files work.
Will images from the `AZW3` appear in the output?
No - TXT cannot store images, so cover art and inline images are dropped entirely during conversion.
Does the chapter order stay intact?
Yes, converters follow the reading order defined in the AZW3 file, so chapters appear in sequence.
Is it legal to convert my `AZW3` to `TXT`?
Converting a DRM-free file you own or created yourself is generally fine. Stripping DRM from Amazon-purchased books may breach Amazon's terms of service and could be unlawful in your jurisdiction.
