Frequently asked questions
What quality can I expect?
HTMLZ is zipped HTML and MOBI wraps compressed HTML in a Palm-database container, so the text and images transfer well. Both are reflowable, so prose and inline images survive, while complex CSS is simplified to MOBI's limited styling.Why convert HTMLZ to MOBI?
MOBI is the Mobipocket format that early Kindle devices and apps used, so the conversion targets older Kindle compatibility. Note that Amazon retired MOBI from its Send to Kindle workflow, so EPUB is now the preferred route for newer Kindle.Where does a MOBI file open?
DRM-free
MOBI files open in general e-book applications and in older Kindle apps and devices. Because the format is retired, some current tools favor EPUB instead.What are the format's limits?
MOBI supports only basic styling, so intricate layout and advanced CSS from the source HTML are flattened. The converted file itself carries no DRM; only Amazon-purchased MOBI/AZW files are account-locked, which does not apply to content you convert yourself.
