MAP to AZW3 conversion is the process of transforming an image-based MAP file (a proprietary or less-common map/image package format) into the AZW3 eBook format used by Amazon Kindle devices. This conversion repackages image assets and layout into Kindle-readable AZW3 containers so visual content can be viewed on Kindle apps and devices.
