4. Print Replica (A PDF in a PDB wrapper)

Not all Kindle hardware and software can read all four formats, but they can all read the first two. No-one except Amazon make Topaz format files, so the safe bet for reading on a Kindle is Mobipocket.

File extensions:
1. is often azw
2. is often azw1
3. is often azw3
4. is often azw4

But actually, you might also get books with .mobi and .prc, and sometimes the later formats also turn up with a .azw extension.

But we can convert them in file we wanted?
