In the old days (a year ago?) if you used the mobipocket creator to make a book it would turn out a .prc file. Now, it turns out .mobi.

However, I have found problems with many .prc files. For example, some of the ones from Baen used to show up on my Cybook without an author name -- although they did fine in windows using the mobipocket desktop. I found the solution was to run them through Calibre to batch convert them to .mobi files. I never tried these old .prc files on my Kindle, but I assume they would work fine. I know the converted .mobi files do work OK.
