Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure you have the proper authorization to archive DRM-protected MOBI files to avoid access issues.
-
Use strong passwords when enabling AES-256 encryption for enhanced security.
-
Be aware that extracting individual files from solid or multi-volume 7Z archives may take more time.
-
Verify that recipients have compatible extraction tools for 7Z archives before sharing.
-
Maintain a copy of original MOBI files separately to prevent potential decompression overhead.
Limitations
-
MOBI files with proprietary DRM might not be usable after archiving without proper authorization.
-
Some systems may not support 7Z archives natively and require third-party extraction tools.
-
Solid compression and multi-volume archives increase resource demands and slow access to individual files.
-
Compression and decompression can be CPU- and memory-intensive on devices with limited resources.
-
Certain extractors may lack support for newer 7Z features like LZMA2 or header encryption.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Can I archive DRM-protected MOBI files using this tool?
-
You can archive DRM-protected MOBI files only if you have proper authorization. DRM may restrict access or use of these files after archiving.
-
Do I need special software to open 7Z archives?
-
7Z archives often require third-party extraction tools like 7-Zip, as not all operating systems support the format natively.
-
Does using multi-volume 7Z archives affect file extraction speed?
-
Yes, splitting archives into multiple volumes and using solid compression can increase extraction time and resource usage.
