TCR to KWD conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in the TCR (Psion Series 3/Series 5 Reader) format into the KWD format used by certain ebook readers and legacy Palm/Kingston-compatible devices. This conversion extracts text, metadata and structure from the compact, indexed TCR container and repackages it into the KWD ebook/container format so the file can be opened natively by KWD-compatible readers.
