epub to mobi conversion - no footnotes
Hello
I have conversed an epub book into mobi format on Calibre. However, after the conversion I have noticed that the mobi version lost all of the book's hyperlinked footnotes. In mobi I can only see numbers without hyperlinks. Is it something typical for this type of conversion? Or maybe I should convert it into a new Kindle format? Or maybe send it to the Amazon cloud for the conversion? I will be very grateful for any answer? |

First thing I'd try is converting to AZW3 instead as it's a more modern format.

Thank you for a quick answer.
I don't have any reader yet. I am only testing conversion compatibility from epub to mobi. I'm thinking whether it makes sense for me to buy Kindle PW3. I will have to find an app for android that reads azw3. For the time being, there's some conversion problem in Moon reader. However, when I open this mobi in Calibre - all the hyperlined footnotes work perfectly. I am confused. |

Before you buy a Reader, do you want a Kindle or do you want a Reader that handles ePub? That is something to decide before choosing.

The answer is that MOBI handles endnotes just fine
 if it works in calibre but not in Moon Reader then that is because Moon Reader has a bug.But you will want to convert to AZW3 anyway. ... I've converted plenty of EPUBs to AZW3, and they turn out great.
