Yes, but most .prc and all from Amazon are ebooks.
The two pdb formats used for ebooks are Palm. The prc is a development of pdb. Any Mobipocket .prc will actually be a .mobi. The non-ebook prc files are for PDAs / PalmOS and now rare and I can't see how they would ever have worked with Mobipocket Reader (Palm OS, WinCE, Symbian, PC etc) or Calibre. Mobipocket on Palm OS can read either of the ebook formats using pdb files (which Calibre can make, as I tested them on a Palm Z22 PDA).
