| Description | The file type .prc is an eBook format created by a French eBook company called Mobipocket which created a free software application for multiple devices including PDAs, smartphones and tablet devices. The .prc extension is actually identical to .mobi extension but is used specifically for Palm devices which only support .prc or .pdb extensions. | Mobipocket SA is a French company incorporated in March 2000 that created the .mobi e-book file format and produces the Mobipocket Reader software for mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDA) and desktop operating systems. |
| Technical details | The eBook format is based on XHTML and also allows for frames and JavaScript. The format supports DRM protection, images and tables. It also allows for interactive actions such as adding notes, corrections, annotations and bookmarking. The format was designed to optimise certain elements such as images for mobiel devices on low bandwidth. | The Mobipocket e-book format is based on the Open eBook standard using XHTML and can include JavaScript and frames. It also supports native SQL queries to be used with embedded databases. The Amazon Kindle's AZW format is basically just the Mobipocket format with a slightly different serial number scheme, and .prc publications can be read directly on the Kindle. The Kindle AZW format also lacks some Mobipocket features such as JavaScript. |
