I call it "Peanut Press" format, since it was first devised by Peanut Press, an early ebook publisher targetting PalmOS handhelds. Palm bought them and made them the Palm Digital Media division, then sold that to Motricity, Inc., who renamed it eReader, and Motricity just sold the eReader operation to Fictionwise.

It's based on Palm Markup Language, or PML. It's documented here: http://www.ereader.com/dropbook/pml
