Frequently asked questions
Should I convert FB2 to AZW3 or EPUB for Kindle?
If you can use Send to Kindle, convert to
.epub - it is simpler and Amazon handles the rest. Use AZW3 only if you prefer USB sideloading or manage your library in Calibre.My file is .fb2.zip - does that work?
Yes. Calibre opens
.fb2.zip and .fbz directly; add the compressed file the same way as a plain .fb2.Will images and footnotes survive the conversion?
Yes - embedded images, footnotes, and the table of contents all transfer cleanly to AZW3.
Which Kindles support AZW3?
All Kindles from Kindle Paperwhite (2012) onward support AZW3; older models like Kindle 4 and early Keyboard need
.mobi instead.Programs that convert FB2: Calibre · Hamster Free eBook Converter · Calibre for Mac · Calibre for Linux
