Portability reading guides

Move the information you need—not just the file you can see.

Choose this path when…

A transfer should be judged by what arrives in a usable form. Folders and link titles, ebook positions, and annotations may need different checks. Begin with a small sample containing the information you care about, then compare it in the destination before moving the whole collection.

Keep the original file or library until those checks pass. Record which fields transferred and which did not, and use a companion note for important context that is tied to a particular application. These guides help you separate readable exports, browser migration, and ebook annotation portability without assuming they are interchangeable.
