Convert AZW to Mobi

Posted by Ada Wang on 8/27/2019 9:30:39 AM.

Mobi and azw are both Kindle formats, but there are some differences between them. AZW is a proprietary format of Amazon Kindle ebooks. This format is DRM restricted and is locked to the device ID which is registered automatically with the user account of the Kindle purchaser. Many of the azw books are locked by Kindle DRM, while some are also DRM-free.

Then mobi is an open standard for ebook publishing, they are DRM-free.

Part 1. Reasons for Converting AZW to Mobi

Reason 1: The WiFi problem.

Some people may don’t have wifi to use or there is something wrong with the WiFi. Just like me, I can have my computer connected to the Internet with broadband cable at home but I don’t have WiFi to use. I can only download ebooks using the computer. You know that the ebooks we sync and download to computer via Kinlde for PC/Mac are in azw format. Most of them are in DRM. We can’t directly transfer them to Kindle devices and read. So if you can’t connect your device with WIFI, you can’t register with your Amazon account on the device and then sync your books to read. So it’s the best to remove Kindle DRM and then transfer to your Kindle as soon as you download to your computer. OK, you can carry your Kindle everywhere you go and read the books freely.

Reason 2: The size problem.

Mobi format is more suitable for smaller screens because of the image size limitation (64K). The image size and image format (GIF) may put the format at odds on larger display devices like computers.

Reason 3: For more Convenience.

After you remove DRM from azw files, you can transfer your books to Kindle device with the USB cable at any time. They can be opened and read freely. Besides, you can share your books with your families and friends.

When the azw book’s DRM is removed, the book’s file extension is automatically changed to mobi or azw3 (mostly mobi). If you occasionally get the azw3 after removing DRM and you really want mobi format, you can convert it to mobi using Ultimate.
