MOBIPOCKET Books Prc to MOBIPOCKET Books conversion is the process of transforming an ebook file in the PRC container (used by Mobipocket, older PalmOS and some Kindle-compatible files) into the MOBI format, which is the widely supported MOBIPOCKET Books ebook package used by many e-readers and apps. The conversion preserves text, basic formatting, metadata and most embedded images so the book can be read on devices and apps that prefer or require the MOBI container.
