"Why?" you may ask, "does it matter what format I buy my ebooks in, surely I can read them all." The short answer to that question is a resounding NO!</p><p>Let's take a look at the most popular file formats used by ebook publishers, explain a little about them and see why it does matter which formats the ebook reader device you choose to purchase supports.</p><p>The Original Sony eBook Reader (.LRF)</p><p>The first Sony devices, models like the prs-505 and prs-700, catered only for their own proprietary format. Books purchased from their site could be used on their device but books purchased from say Amazon could not be read. Yes, they do have a lot of titles but the practice of companies publishing in their own proprietary file format was and still is extremely restrictive.</p><p>The Kindle eBook Reader (.AZW)</p><p>much the same as Sony, Amazon Kindle also decided to go down the road of proprietary file formats, at least to some extent. Electronic books sold on Amazon's online book store are available in the.AZW format which can only be read on the Kindle.</p><p>The Mobipocket (.MOBI)</p><p>Unlike the above two examples, this format was developed not for any particular ebook reader but for a software. The Mobipocket software is freely available for download and can be distributed by manufacturers along with their books. this makes the format versatile for publishers and readers alike. It was one talked about as being the file format of the future for e-publishing such was its effectiveness at down scaling text to smaller, differing screen sizes.</p><p>The Adobe Reader (.PDF)</p><p>probably the best known of all the text/image file formats. anyone with a PC or laptop will have used this format in the past, it is pre loaded on to many, if not all modern machines. this was also seen by many, in ebook reader reviews, as the natural standard file format for e-publishing as it was a stable text based format. It has to be pointed out though, the Adobe.pdf format does work great on computer screens, giving a clear, crisp facsimile of text, but the clarity suffers when it tries to reduce the image to fit the small screens that most ebook readers employ.</p><p>The EPUB Format (.epub)</p><p>this relatively new format is open standard and free. It's lightweight, which suites such small devices like ebook readers, and it automatically, or more to the point, successfully resizes text to the screen size of every device. It is becoming available on more and more ebook readers, is being used by digital libraries for electronic books you can borrow and recently received the backing of the influential internet giant, Google. They intend to release all their one million plus public domain ebook collection in this format. That's as good as them saying this is the e-publishing standard, as using this format would not tie their library of books to any one device.</p><p>There are then the "normal" file formats such as.rtf,.txt and.doc which we are more familiar with. these let you read popular text based documents but are more for documents from your computer than electronic books.</p><p>As you can see from the file formats for ebook reader reviews I have undertaken above, it really does make a difference which file formats are supported. When you are looking to buy an ebook reader it is best to find one that supports not just the most file formats but supports file formats that the e-publishing industry and not just one company actually publishes in. If you don't you will be wasting your money.</p> </div> <div> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"> <tr> <td valign="top"> <div id="sig" class="sig"> <p>find out what formats are supported by which <a target="_new" href="squidoo.com/Digital-Book-Readers">Digital Book Readers</a>.
