Understanding FB2 to PMLZ Conversion

Let's start with the basics.

What is FB2?

FB2, or FictionBook 2.0, is an XML-based e-book format. It focuses on preserving the structure of the text, including headings, paragraphs, and citations. FB2 files are typically open and can be read by various e-readers and software applications. They excel at representing structured text effectively.

What is PMLZ?

PMLZ is a protected version of the MobiPocket eBook format, typically associated with Amazon Kindle devices, particularly older generations. It often includes DRM (Digital Rights Management) to prevent unauthorized copying. While similar to MOBI, PMLZ offers added security features.
