kindle - How interoperable are the EPUB and MOBI formats? -


i have bunch of epub books have convert mobi if kindle. know whether there loss of detail (e.g. meta-data, layout info) during conversion epub mobi , vice versa, analogous conversion between mp3 , wma? happens when multiple conversions applied consecutively, e.g. epub->mobi->epub->mobi->epub. how bad information loss get?

yes, lossy. it's not possible express lossiness exactly, depends on input source. epub allows use of of xhtml1.1/css 2.1, whereas mobipocket "html 3" existed many years ago, plus proprietary tagging.

if epub text, conversion acceptable. if highly designed, still readable, pretty terrible.
