Any EBook Converter vs Calibre
November 26, 2025 | Author: Maria Lin
Any EBook Converter and Calibre are both desktop programs for converting e-books (that is useful for reading books on different devices). They support many popular formats (EPUB, MOBI, PDF, etc.), allow you to edit ebook metadata (title, author, publisher, etc.) and can do batch conversion. Both programs are available on Windows (Calibre also has versions for macOS and Linux)
But Any EBook Converter is a paid program. And its selling point is the ability to remove DRM from Kindle, Adobe, Kobo and Nook books (and the ability to convert these DRM-protected files). The program's interface is quite simple: the entire work process takes 4 steps: automatic scanning, metadata parsing, file selection and conversion. It supports more input formats (up to 24) and several output formats (EPUB, MOBI, PDF, AZW, TXT, KFX)
Calibre is a free open-source program. But initially it is a multifunctional book manager, so the interface is quite complicated and overloaded. The converter is just one of many built-in tools and is not so easy to find. But the advantage is that Calibre has built-in viewer, book editor (EPUB and other formats), many plugins for conversion (you can also find those that remove DRM)
