Keep individual images under 5–10 MB for smooth processing; a complete AZW3 ebook is best kept under 50–100 MB for device compatibility.
To preserve image detail, first convert CRW to 16-bit TIFF or high-quality JPEG, then package into AZW3; avoid double lossy compression.
For large photo batches, use batch conversion tools to convert CRW to JPEG/PNG first, then compile into a single AZW3; test a small subset before full batch runs.
Limitations: AZW3 is an ebook container not meant for retaining RAW sensor data or advanced RAW adjustments—color profiles and layers are flattened.
