AZW3 to RB conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in Amazon's AZW3 format (KF8) into the RB format used by certain ereader apps and devices. This converts the underlying HTML/CSS-based ebook content, metadata, and images into the RB container so the book is readable on RB-compatible readers while preserving layout and text flow where possible.
