MOBIPOCKET Books to RB conversion is the process of transforming eBook files in the MOBI format (used by Mobipocket and older Kindle devices) into the RB format, a document/eBook container used by certain reader apps and devices. This conversion extracts text, images, metadata and layout from the MOBI file and repackages them into the RB structure so the content displays correctly in RB-compatible readers.

Keep individual MOBI files under 25 MB for fastest, most reliable conversions; large illustrated books are best split where possible.
To preserve typography and layout, use the high-quality RB preset and avoid aggressive image recompression.
For multiple titles, batch conversion is supported but process in groups of 10–20 files to reduce memory spikes.
