Frequently asked questions
Can I convert a DRM-protected LIT file?
No. The DRM relies on Microsoft's license servers, which shut down in 2012; those files are permanently locked regardless of the tool you use.
Will images and chapter structure survive the conversion?
Yes - LIT stores XHTML text, images, and chapter markers internally, and all of these carry over into the MOBI output.
Should I choose MOBI or AZW3 for my Kindle?
Both work, but AZW3 renders formatting better on newer Kindles; choose
.mobi if you need compatibility with older devices.Is Calibre free?
Yes, Calibre is free and open-source with no file size limits; it runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
