This conversion remaps text, images, metadata, and layout from the Kindle-specific AZW3 container into SUN while attempting to preserve formatting and readability.

AZW3 is Amazon's proprietary ebook format optimized for Kindle devices, supporting advanced formatting and DRM. SUN is a flexible ebook format favored for its compatibility across various e-readers and simpler DRM handling. While AZW3 offers enhanced features, SUN provides broader device support and easier conversion options.
Optimal file sizes: aim for AZW3 source files under 250 MB for fastest, most reliable conversion; very large files may slow processing or hit service limits.
Quality preservation: choose the high-quality SUN output setting to retain embedded fonts and image resolution; avoid aggressive compression if typography matters.
Batch conversion: convert multiple AZW3 files at once where supported, but split very large collections into smaller batches to reduce memory usage and error risk.
Format-specific limitation: AZW3 files protected by Amazon DRM cannot be converted until DRM is legally removed; conversion tools only work with DRM-free content.
