Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure your LRF files are unencrypted to enable conversion; DRM-protected .lrx files are not supported
- Review converted FB2 files for potential minor formatting or image discrepancies
- Use FB2 format for texts prioritizing semantic structure over detailed typography
- Consider further converting FB2 files to EPUB if broader device compatibility or advanced styling is needed
- Keep backup copies of original LRF files before converting
Limitations
- Conversion applies only to unencrypted LRF (.lrf) files; DRM-locked (.lrx) files cannot be processed
- Some layout or typographic features may be lost since FB2 focuses on content structure, not styling
- Embedded images or proprietary format details in LRF may not perfectly transfer to FB2 binary image sections
- FB2 lacks advanced multimedia and scripting support, limiting complex ebooks
- FB2 is less universally supported than EPUB, especially outside Russian/Slavic reading markets
