Two ways. First you can download the sample open it in notepad if the first characters are TPZ0 then it is topaz if it has BOOKMOBI somewhere in the first line or two then it is mobi.

Another rule of thumb is as follows:

Look up the book in Amazon's Kindle area.

Look under Product Details if it has a file size it's mobi.
