I've never understood the hubbub. You can easily perfectly convert between the formats with any number of tools. I use Calibre and I've never had a problem with a converted document.
- simongray 4y agoI definitely have run into issues once or twice, but you're right that it mostly just works.
- puchatek 4y agoI ran into issues with sending the converted files to my Kindle and there were no error messages to debug by. I was probably doing something wrong but still.
- ge96 4y agoI would root/"hack" mine just to get rid of the damn lock screen ad that takes like 10 seconds to go away.
- DoingIsLearning 4y agoI had a 15 year old ereader from sony that could open pdf, epub, rtf, txt whatever you wanted and text reflow would work for everything bar pdfs. Kindles are actively walled to force customers into the amazon ecosystem. I could just plug this sony e-reader to my PC and copy whatever I wanted to read. The e-ink panels have gotten substantially better but the experience is now objectively worse with Amazon and more expensive, most customers not don't realize what it could be.
- CYHSM 4y agoSo true. I still own a Sony ereader and although the battery is a little worn off, the whole ease of use with epub or pdf is remarkable (its nearly 10 years old now). I really wonder why they stopped producing them
- kX4A8o4mVmX8aW 4y agoThe last I looked Calibre, including its CLI tool ebook-convert, is literally the only local option, paid or free, for consumers to convert EPUB to AZW3. If you know of anything else please let me know.
