Reflowable Architecture

How Word Content Translates into MOBI

A Microsoft Word manuscript is organized into fixed pages, while a MOBI e-book is a reflowable continuous container based on the PalmDOC database specification. During conversion, ScanPDF extracts your Word headings, body paragraphs, and inline formatting, restructuring them for smooth reading on e-ink displays.

1

Headings & Table of Contents

Heading 1 and Heading 2 styles in Word are mapped to chapter divisions, allowing Kindle reading software to generate navigational bookmarks.

2

Reflowable Text & Inline Styling

Bold, italic, and underline runs are preserved while hard line breaks are normalized so text flows smoothly regardless of the reader's chosen font size.

3

Embedded Images & Figures

Images embedded in your Word document are extracted, scaled, and packed directly into the Palm database records without broken external paths.

Understanding MOBI Compatibility in 2026

MOBI is a legacy e-book format originally developed by Mobipocket in 2000 and acquired by Amazon for early Kindle models. Amazon has modernized its wireless e-book distribution: Send-to-Kindle now uses EPUB files, which Amazon automatically formats for delivery.

Best For MOBI
  • Direct USB sideloading to Kindle (documents folder)
  • Older Kindle hardware (1st through 4th Gen)
  • Legacy Mobipocket and Palm OS readers
  • Offline archiving on standalone reading hardware
Consider EPUB or AZW3 When
  • Using Amazon's email / web Send-to-Kindle (use EPUB)
  • Reading on Apple Books, Kobo, or Android (use EPUB)
  • Requiring modern CSS3 and drop caps (use AZW3)
  • Publishing on digital retail bookstores (use EPUB)
