TCR to IPL conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in the TCR (Psion Series 3/Palmtop Reader) format into the IPL (iPocket Library or similar indexed e-book package) format so the book can be read on devices or apps that support IPL. The conversion extracts and maps text, basic formatting, and index/metadata from TCR and rebuilds it into the IPL structure while preserving navigation and readable layout.
