Conversion to AZW3 format

To convert any of the supported file types to the AZW3 file type, just specify it in the Format property of the EBookConvertOptions class instance:

// Load the source PDF file
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample.pdf"))
{
    // Set the convert options for AZW3 format
    var options = new EBookConvertOptions {
        Format = EBookFileType.Azw3
    };
    // Convert to AZW3 format
    converter.Convert("converted.azw3", options);
}

Extracting audio track from video formats

Extracting audio track from video is similar to converting video, however you need to set the ExtractAudioOnly property to true and specify the desired output format in the AudioFormat property:

// Load the source AVI file
VideoLoadOptions loadOptions = new VideoLoadOptions();
loadOptions.SetVideoConnector(new VideoConnector());
using (Converter converter = new Converter("sample_with_audio.avi", () => loadOptions))
{
    // Set the convert options
    VideoConvertOptions options = new VideoConvertOptions
    {
        ExtractAudioOnly = true,
        AudioFormat = AudioFileType.Ogg
    };
    // Convert to audio file
    converter.Convert("extracted_audio.ogg", options);
}
