This article is about the e-book format. For the top-level domain, see TLD .mobi.

MOBI format was originally an extension of the PalmDOC format by adding certain HTML-like tags to the data. http://wiki.mobileread.com/wiki/MOBI

The Amazon Kindle used to use this format, in a variation called AZW or AZW3, but later switched to the more standardized EPUB format.

[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.
