AZW3 to RGF conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in Amazon's AZW3 format (KF8) into the RGF format, which is used by certain reading apps and legacy ebook systems. This conversion extracts the underlying XHTML, images, fonts and metadata from the AZW3 container and repackages them into the RGF structure so the book remains readable on devices that require RGF files.
