NAME

SYNOPSIS

mobi2epub [ -n ][ file... ]

AVAILABILITY

DESCRIPTION

The mobi2epub command provides a fast and efficient way to convert one or more MOBI eBooks to the ePUB file format that can be processed by many eBook readers.

To convert eBook(s): mark them in the Windows™ Explorer, -> do a right click -> goto: 'Send to' -> select: 'mobi2epub'.

Each given file1.mobi is converted to file1.epub as long as the destination file ( file1.epub ) does not exist already.

The mobi2epub command should be installed to the 'Send To' context menu in 'Microsoft™ Windows Explorer' for most convenient usage. To do so, invoke mobi2epub -i once.
