Format coverage

The Windows importer accepts MOBI, AZW and AZW3 in addition to PDF, EPUB, Markdown and TXT. These formats share the library while using format-specific reading engines.

Protected Kindle content

AZW3 is also used in Kindle ecosystems, but a matching file extension does not mean every store purchase can be opened. ZephRead does not remove or bypass DRM and does not promise support for protected Kindle books.

When to choose another tool

Choose calibre when conversion, metadata repair or device-library management is the task. Choose Zeph Read when the goal is focused reading and highlighting of compatible local files.
