Understanding PDF and MOBI file formats

PDF (Portable Document Format) is a versatile file format created by Adobe that is used to present documents consistently across various devices and platforms. It is widely used for sharing documents because it preserves the layout, fonts, and images of the original document.

MOBI is a file format used for eBooks, originally developed by Mobipocket. It is designed for mobile devices and eReaders, such as Amazon Kindle, and supports features like bookmarking, annotations, and text reflow, making it ideal for reading on smaller screens.
