Keep individual LIT files under 50–100 MB for fastest, most reliable conversions; split very large books or heavy-image files before converting.
To preserve layout and fonts, convert DRM-free LIT; DRM-protected LIT cannot be converted without removal first (which may be restricted by law).
For best image quality, choose a higher image-quality setting when converting illustrated books; use medium or low for novels to reduce file size.
Convert in batches when possible but limit batch sizes to 10–20 files at once to avoid timeouts or memory issues.
