Motivation

Recently, I felt the heavy burden of physical books because of moving, so I got a Kindle, but it only supports azw3/mobi format, after a simple query, I finally decided to use azw3 format, so I need to convert existing ebooks in epub/pdf/txt format. I would like to recursively scan all the eBooks in the directory, and then put the converted files into the output directory while keeping the structure unchanged, but the existing tools for batch conversion cannot meet this requirement.
