KF8 and Whispersync

HogDrvr · 03-05-2018, 07:46 PM

Is there any advantage in me converting books to KF8 (combined old and new) if I'm going to upload to Amazon and download via Whispersync? Is Amazon going to convert and send me the older mobi format anyways. I have a Voyager.

I use Whispersync so I can keep the same book synched across my Voyager, iPad and phone.

Yes, the advantage is that you get the KF8 version on compatible devices, and the old mobi on the other devices (not sure what iPad gets). I believe that syncing still works even if one device has a KF8 and the other Mobi

And it doesn't convert. It simply sends either or version.
