| Full name | Raw Text File | Mobipocket Ebook Format |

| MIME | text/plain | application/x-mobipocket-ebook |
| Developed by | Microsoft | Mobipocket SA |
| Type of format | Plain text | Ebook file format |
| Introduction | On most operating systems the name text file refers to file format that allows only plain text content with very little formatting (e.g., no bold or italic types). Such files can be viewed and edited on text terminals or in simple text editors. | 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 | "Text file" refers to a type of container, while plain text refers to a type of content. Text files can contain plain text, but they are not limited to such. At a generic level of description, there are two kinds of computer files: text files and binary files. | 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. |
