LRF to KWD conversion is the process of transforming an eBook file in Sony's LRF (Broadband eBook) format into the KWD format used by specific e-reader apps and devices. This conversion rewraps and, when necessary, re-encodes text, images and metadata so the book can be read on KWD-compatible readers while preserving layout and navigation where possible.
