As we know there are various devices for reading e-books, there are also popular file formats associated with several of such devices. There have always been debates as to which is the best among them, though each of these formats has its own advantages and disadvantages. Some of the popular file formats include Adobe PDF, Microsoft LIT, Amazon AZW, Mobipocket PRC, PDB, etc. Some popular PC content formats, such as HTML, TXT, and DOC, may also compete as e-book formats. In this article, let’s have a look at some of these popular file formats and their software readers.

1. Amazon AZW

With the production of Amazon Kindle, Amazon created also a file format that Kindle recognizes, called AZW. With its own DRM (Digital Rights Management) structure, AZW format protects the e-book publishers and authors from possible piracy. Kindle recognizes only this format, and other formats should be translated into AZW before they can be read through Kindle device. In order to do this, Kindle provides a free email conversion system, which helps you download the books in any other format to Kindle through an email.

AZW is loosely based on Mobipocket’s popular MOBI file format.

2. Adobe PDF

Adobe’s PDF (Portable Document Format) is not just an e-book format, but also a popular PC file format. First created in 1993, it became popular long before the e-book revolution started. It was created for storing and transferring portable, printable documents. Adobe’s own PostScript format forms the basis of PDF documents.

PDF documents support compression, password protection, and are viewable in virtually all platforms (hence the name ‘portable document format’). It is estimated that more than 250 million PDF documents are in existence on the Web. Adobe’s software applications, Acrobat and Acrobat Reader were used to create and read PDF files, but in 2008, PDF was released as an open standard, and now there are several applications available to read and edit PDF documents. This has enhanced PDF’s popularity in the e-book arena.

3. Microsoft LIT

With severe competition from Adobe and other popular e-book formats, Microsoft also came up with their own proprietary e-book format, LIT. Files with extension ‘LIT’ are accessed and read by the Microsoft Reader, available as a free download from Microsoft website. The application is available only for Windows operating system.

Microsoft Reader can be used for reading e-books on portable devices with the help of ClearType technology, which renders improved text on those devices. It was first introduced in 2000.

LIT format also supports DRM (Digital Rights Management), protecting e-book author and publisher rights. You should activate the Microsoft Reader once installed in your PC, tablet PC, or pocket PC, through Reader activation website. You can purchase the e-books in LIT format from Microsoft Reader website as well.

4. Palm E-book Format (PDB)

Palm Database format (PDB) is a proprietary format used in Palm PDAs. It can however be accessed on Windows or other type of OS with the help of specialized software.

Palm’s own eReader is a free program for reading PDB files. This reader is available for a number of devices and operating systems-BlackBerry, iPhone, Macintosh, PalmOS, PocketPC, Symbian, Windows Mobile Smartphone, etc.

You can purchase and download e-books from eReader website, and read them through your device. There are also a number of classics in public domain available in PDB format for free. The purchased books are encrypted for safety.

5. Mobipocket PRC or MOBI

Mobipocket is a French software company that creates the Mobipocket Reader, which can be used to read e-books on your PDA or smart phone. The reader’s native format is PRC. The PRC format and Reader are supported under BlackBerry, Franklin eBookMan, PalmOS, Symbian, PocketPC, Windows Mobile Smartphone.

Mobipocket Reader gives you an e-book library for storing and managing all your e-books. You can edit the metadata associated with the e-books, such as author information, title, publisher, and rate e-books. You can transfer e-books to any of your PDA devices from your PC through a USB connection. You can also incorporate notes and annotations on your e-books and highlight any term. Also, the reader allows you to look up the definitions of any term easily through available dictionaries, which include Longman, Merriam Webster, Oxford, and others.

Conclusion

Those are the most popular of e-book document formats. There are also less popular formats associated with specific reading devices. However, since most readers recognize almost all formats, it is easy for users to read e-books in any reading device. The conversion and publishing of e-books on any of these formats is also easy with the help of specialized software.

French Revolution Slogan

Question: During the French revolution wasn’t the slogan “don’t shoot till you see the white in their eyes?

Also when the Marx Brothers stormed the Bastille who gave out the cake? But what is puzzling to me why didn’t Castro intervene there and then, knowing Che Guevara was in Belgium in 1954

Maria Theresa Jews

A religious, known for his sanctity, believed that he had had a vision of two Angels who assured him his ambitious project was of Divine origin and would bear much fruit. When he told this to Anna Maria, she smiled sadly and gently informed him it would fail miserably. It did!

Then there was a Poor Clare who spread stories of having visions and receiving many mystical gifts. Because of this, she was able to establish a Reformed Franciscan Third Order. One of her sisters led many astray by alluding she had the gifts of St. Teresa of Avila. Bishops, priests, religious and laity alike were deluded by this nun who wrote and spoke cleverly, convincing everyone that she had the infused knowledge from God that Teresa once had. Anna Maria went to the two nuns and let them know that she was on to them and their deception. They brazenly denied it, insisting the Poor Clare did indeed possess all the Divine gifts of Teresa of Avila.

Although at times it seems the innocent will never know the truth, Our Lord Jesus will ultimately bring all things to light, not allowing his children to fall, if only they will use their eyes to see and their ears to hear. The nun’s Spiritual Director, Most Reverend Father General of the Friars Minor of the Observance, brought her to Bishop Natali’s attention (Anna Maria’s confessor). The bishop asked Anna Maria what she saw in the sun about this alleged visionary. Although she would not speak unkindly of the Sister, she told him not to waste his time visiting her. He understood all too clearly what she meant. It was not long after that, the Poor Clare nun was exposed, and she, the Most Reverend Father General and her nuns were brought before the Holy See and censured.

One time, a Cardinal came to Bishop Natali and asked for prayers, as an alleged Mystic had told him he would die shortly in Naples. Bishop Natali asked Anna Maria to look into the sun; she sent word to the Cardinal to have peace; he would have a peaceful trip to Naples and would return to Rome. But while there, he was to go to a certain convent where he would find two nuns: one with a reputation of being very pious and one who is believed to be a fool. He was to ignore the sanctimonious one, as she would lead him astray.

He was to listen to the other one, as she would give him the proper guidance. When the Cardinal returned to Rome, he tried to reward Anna Maria. She refused the monthly allowance he offered, to help feed her impoverished family, insisting he give it to a family she was not able to help because of her limited resources. When the Cardinal later became ill, Anna sent word that although the doctors said there was nothing seriously wrong with him, he should prepare to meet the Lord soon. The Cardinal put his house in order and died a peaceful death, a few days after Anna Maria had so prophesied.
