Convert eBooks to EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, and PDF

GiliSoft EBook Converter helps readers, writers, publishers, and library teams prepare books in the format their next task needs. Create EPUB reading copies, export eBooks to PDF for page-based review, or prepare AZW3, MOBI, and FB2 output for the readers and collections that use those formats.

The two conversion directions keep the process clear: Ebook to File exports book content to an available document format, while File to Ebook creates reading files from supported PDFs, text, and document sources. Choose Format and Output, add your source files, and save converted copies alongside the originals.

Support for older formats such as LIT, LRF, PDB, and TCR helps with library migration and long-held reading collections. Batch conversion reduces repeated export work when several books need the same target format. Review chapter order, navigation, text flow, images, and special characters in the reader you plan to use.

These EBook Converter tools are included in GiliSoft Formathor for Windows. Download the trial and open Ebook Tools to start. The illustrated eBook conversion guide explains the two workspaces and output checks.

Core Ebook Conversion and Library Features

Create EPUB Reading Copies

Use File to Ebook and select .epub to prepare supported PDFs, text, and document sources for EPUB reading apps and devices. Review the converted text flow and navigation.

Convert eBooks to PDF

Choose .pdf in Ebook to File for fixed-page review copies, print preparation, and stable page references. Keep the eBook original for adjustable reading text.

Prepare AZW3 Output

Create AZW3 copies from supported sources when a reading device or library workflow calls for that format. Choose the target according to the device and transfer method.

Create MOBI for Legacy Workflows

Prepare MOBI output when an existing reader or older collection requires it. Keep legacy file support separate from the formats accepted by current book-transfer services.

Convert to FB2

Create FB2 output from supported sources for collections and readers that use FictionBook. Review chapter structure, character encoding, and illustrations after conversion.

Migrate Older eBook Formats

Work with supported LIT, LRF, PDB, TCR, and other legacy sources when maintaining older catalogs. Select an available target format for continued reading and storage.

Create eBooks from PDF and Documents

Turn supported long-form PDFs, text, and document files into reading copies using File to Ebook. Prepare manuals, lessons, manuscripts, and reference material for a reader.

Batch-Convert Book Collections

Add several supported source files, choose a Format and Output folder, and run the conversion. Group books by their target format for repeatable library preparation.

GiliSoft EBook Converter FAQ

Why does EBook Converter install GiliSoft Formathor?

GiliSoft EBook Converter is the eBook toolset included in GiliSoft Formathor. Install Formathor on Windows, open Ebook Tools, and choose Ebook to File or File to Ebook. The trial download and purchase links on this page are for Formathor, which includes these conversion tools.

Is GiliSoft EBook Converter free?

A free trial is available through the Formathor download, with paid licenses available for the full product. Use the trial to evaluate your source files and target formats. Check the installed tool's trial and activation screens for its limits before choosing a license.

How do I convert EPUB or another eBook to PDF?

Open Ebook Tools and choose Ebook to File. Add the supported source book, select .pdf in Format, set Output, and run Convert. Open the PDF to check chapter order, page breaks, margins, images, and links. Keep the original eBook when adjustable reading text is still useful.

Can I convert a PDF or document to EPUB?

Yes. Choose File to Ebook, add a supported PDF, text, or document source, select .epub in Format, set Output, and run Convert. Fixed PDF pages may reflow differently in EPUB. Scanned pages may need OCR before their text can be reused; changing the extension alone does not create recognized text.

Can I batch-convert a collection of eBooks?

Yes. Use Add Files or drag several supported books into the selected task, choose one target Format and an Output folder, and run the conversion. Group sources by the result you need. Check a representative book first, then review the output count and reading quality of the collection.

Which format should I choose for Kindle?

For Send to Kindle, choose EPUB or another format on Amazon's supported-file list. The service's input formats are different from file types a specific Kindle can open directly. Check the transfer method and your device model before choosing AZW3 or a legacy MOBI workflow; MOBI is not listed among the current Send to Kindle input formats.

Will an eBook and its PDF copy have the same pages and layout?

Not necessarily. Reflowable eBooks adjust text to the reader's screen and font settings, while PDF uses fixed pages. Converting between them can change pagination, line wrapping, image placement, footnotes, and navigation. Check the cover, chapter order, table of contents, special characters, and illustrations in the intended reader.

Why might a purchased eBook fail to open for conversion?

A store download may be tied to an account or reader application rather than being an independently usable eBook file. Other causes include an unsupported format or a damaged download. Format conversion is not the same as DRM removal. Confirm that the source opens normally and use an unprotected supported source file for the conversion task.
