Are KF8 files always like a pdf?
I was trying to convert a kf8 to epub in calibre and yet again found the file to be a series of image files like a pdf.
Are all KF8 files like this? Are all azw3 files like this? I usually convert any azw type document to epub as my preferred reading program is epub friendly. |

KF8 means Kindle Format 8. It has the file extension *.azw3 and is roughly equivalent to an EPUB.
So, since EPUB can be a series of image files (if someone was weird enough to want to make such an EPUB), so can AZW3. By no means is it a requirement... Note that there are other azw-type formats, e.g. AZW4 is Print Replica and contains an actual PDF file inside. |

I've personally never encountered a KF8 book whose pages are images, and I have several thousand of them. As the previous poster stated, KF8 is a reflowable format, like ePub.
