PRC File Converter

PRC files are based on the Mobipocket eBook format and typically use a combination of HTML, images, and metadata compressed into a single file. They support features like bookmarks, annotations, and searchable text, which enhance the reading experience. The file structure allows for efficient indexing and fast rendering on low-power devices, which was crucial when eBooks first became popular.

PRC files can contain DRM protection, which restricts copying and sharing to protect the author's rights. Many eBook software programs can convert PRC files to other formats like EPUB or PDF for wider compatibility. An interesting fact is that Amazon acquired Mobipocket in 2005, which significantly influenced the adoption of the PRC format in Kindle devices.
