How MOBI Handles LATEX Data
LaTeX Source's known limitation — same as .tex — requires LaTeX compiler — is resolved when converting to Mobipocket eBook, which offers legacy Kindle device backward compatibility. The LaTeX Source source uses lossless encoding. The Mobipocket eBook output uses lossless encoding. Since both share the same compression philosophy, quality transfer is highly efficient. Xonvert's conversion engine analyzes your LaTeX Source source and selects the optimal encoding strategy for Mobipocket eBook output. Some systems use .latex instead of .tex by convention Limited formatting compared to EPUB or AZW3 These implementation details are handled automatically by the converter.
