Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CBR to AZW3 and CBR to MOBI for Kindle?

AZW3 (Kindle Format 8) supports modern fixed-layout features and is recommended for newer Kindle devices and Kindle Fire tablets. MOBI is more compatible with older Kindle hardware. Use AZW3 for the best results on current devices.

Will color comic pages render correctly on Kindle Fire?

Yes. Kindle Fire tablets display color content, and AZW3 preserves the original color comic page images from the CBR archive. The output will display in full color on any color-capable Kindle device.

Will the page order of the comic be preserved?

Yes. Calibre preserves the alphabetical or numerical order of image files within the CBR RAR archive, maintaining the correct comic reading sequence.

Can I read the converted AZW3 in the Kindle app on my phone?

Yes. AZW3 files can be sideloaded into the Kindle app on Android or iOS, or delivered wirelessly via your Kindle personal document email address.

Does image quality change during conversion?

Calibre embeds the original images from the CBR archive into the AZW3 file without re-encoding them. The Kindle device or app may apply its own scaling to fit the screen.

Is CBR to AZW3 conversion free?

Yes, completely free. Convert CBR to AZW3 with no cost, no signup, and no watermarks.

Can I convert CBZ (Comic Book ZIP) to AZW3 as well?

Yes. ChangeThisFile also supports CBZ to AZW3 conversion. CBZ uses ZIP compression instead of RAR, but the comic pages and conversion result are equivalent.

Are my files deleted after conversion?

Yes. Files are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers immediately after conversion. No comic book content is retained.

What is the maximum file size?

Files up to 50 MB are supported. Large high-resolution comic archives may need image compression before uploading.
