ABW to FICTIONBOOK conversion is the process of transforming AbiWord (.abw) documents into the FictionBook (.fb2) XML-based eBook format used widely for fiction and literature. This conversion extracts text, basic formatting, headings, footnotes, and images from ABW and maps them into FB2's structured tags so the document is readable in eReaders and library software.

ABW is a word processing document format primarily used by AbiWord, focusing on basic document creation. FictionBook (FB2) is an XML-based eBook format optimized for digital reading and metadata tagging. While ABW suits document editing, FB2 offers superior compatibility and features for eBook distribution.
Keep individual ABW files under 50–200 MB for fastest processing; images are the usual size drivers.
To preserve formatting, use simple styles in AbiWord (headings, paragraphs, italic/bold); complex frames or floating objects may not map perfectly.
For best image quality, embed images at eReader-appropriate resolution (150–300 DPI); choose JPEG for photos and PNG for line art.
Use batch conversion for multiple chapters, but ensure consistent styling across files so merged FB2 metadata and chapters align correctly.
