Convert CBZ to MOBI

Understanding CBZ and MOBI file formats

CBZ files, or Comic Book Zip files, are a popular format for digital comic books. They are essentially a collection of images compressed into a single zip file, which can be easily read by comic book reader software. The images are typically in a sequence, allowing readers to view the comic in the intended order.

MOBI files, on the other hand, are a format used primarily for eBooks. Developed by Mobipocket, a subsidiary of Amazon, MOBI files are compatible with Kindle devices and apps. They support advanced features like bookmarks, annotations, and a variety of text formatting options, making them ideal for eBook reading.
