Baen calls its .prc files MobiPocket/Palm/Kindle compatible. I think this means that a PalmDOC reader will just see the text, but MobiPocket/Kindle also sees the images (which are at the end of the file). It was naughty of MobiPocket to continue to label this extended format REAdTEXt, but perhaps they needed to do so for PalmDOC readers to work. The more recent MOBI formats are labeled BOOKMOBI and have more metadata, but they are presumably not PalmDOC compatible.
