[edit] File extensions
.mobi is the standard file extension for this format, but .prc is used instead in Palm OS, where only a limited range of extensions are supported.
This format has no connection to the .mobi top-level domain, intended for use on sites targeted at mobile devices.
[edit] Identification
ASCII "BOOKMOBI" appears at offset 60.
