MOBI at a glance

MOBI

Convert to MOBI when the destination involves older Kindle-compatible devices, legacy ebook libraries, or compatibility requirements tied to older handheld readers.

It is useful as a bridge format during migration.

For new general-purpose ebook publishing, EPUB or newer Kindle-targeted formats are usually better.

AIFF at a glance

AIFF

Convert to AIFF when the recipient needs high-fidelity editable audio for production, mastering, archiving, or sample-based workflows, especially in Apple-heavy or studio environments.

It is a strong target when preserving PCM quality matters more than storage size.

For lightweight delivery, AAC or MP3 are usually better suited.
