A Note on File Formats:
  • Find information on PDF, EPUB and MOBI formats on our site here.
  • Of the other formats: LIT is the Mocrosoft Reader format. AZW is Amazon's proprietary Kindle format and can only be purchased and read only through Amazon. PRC is the encrypted version of MOBI.
  • Lastly, some-book retailers will refer to an Adobe Reader format, which is almost always just PDF, but can sometimes mean, erroneously, EPUB. Check with the retailer to be sure before purchasing.
