About:
QLMobi is a Quick Look plugin that enables macOS users to preview Kindle ebook formats, including AZW, AZW3, and MOBI files, directly in Finder without opening an external application. It extracts and displays cover images and metadata, providing a seamless native experience for managing Kindle libraries on Mac. This tool eliminates the need for format conversion or dedicated ebook readers for basic file inspection.

Key Features:

Supports multiple Kindle formats (AZW, AZW3, MOBI)
Displays cover images and book metadata in preview
Integrates natively with macOS Quick Look
Lightweight and easy to install via Homebrew

Use Cases:

Previewing Kindle ebook files in Finder for library organization
Quickly checking book covers and metadata without launching an ebook reader

Alternatives:

Kindle Previewer – Official Amazon tool; heavier and requires GUI, not a Quick Look plugin
Calibre – Full ebook management suite; overkill for simple previews but supports conversion
