Frequently asked questions
Why won't Calibre convert my .prc file?
Almost certainly DRM. Amazon-purchased books are copy-protected and Calibre refuses them; only DRM-free PRC files convert without problems.
What is the difference between .prc and .mobi?
Nothing structural - both use the Mobipocket format.
.prc was the extension used on Palm OS devices; .mobi appeared on later systems. All conversion tools handle them identically.Can I read the converted EPUB on a Kindle?
Yes. Since 2022 Send to Kindle accepts EPUB directly, so upload the
.epub and Amazon delivers it to your device.Is anything lost when converting PRC to EPUB?
Very little for standard prose - text, chapters, cover, and images all transfer cleanly. PRC does not support advanced layout features, so there is nothing complex to lose.
