EPUB to MOBI Converter

Convert EPUB books into MOBI for older Kindles - Keyboard, Touch, Kindle 4 and other models that cannot open EPUB. Pick your Kindle and copy the file over USB. On a newer Kindle? EPUB to AZW3 keeps more of the formatting.

EPUB (FB2 and AZW3 work too) - up to 10 books, 100 MB each.

How to convert EPUB to MOBI

  1. Add your EPUB. Drop one or more books - covers and titles appear straight away.
  2. Pick your Kindle. Choose your model and MOBI type. "Both" works on every Kindle.
  3. Copy it over USB. Download the MOBI and drop it into the Kindle's documents folder.

Do I still need MOBI?

Only for older Kindles and USB transfers. Amazon's Send to Kindle stopped accepting MOBI and now takes EPUB directly, so for emailing books just send the EPUB.

For Kindle Keyboard, Touch, Kindle 4 and other early models, MOBI is still the format they read best. Newer Kindles over USB do better with AZW3.

Which MOBI type?

Both packs the old MOBI and the newer KF8 into one file, so every Kindle can open it. Old MOBI only makes the smallest file for the oldest models. KF8 only suits newer Kindles.
