I quite often offer books free here at MR (I don't make a big deal of it -- usually just when a particular book is revelant to a thread or a newcomer is having trouble buying contemporary work). I've just checked my MobileRead files and, of the dozens of MR pals I've sent BeWrite Books ebooks out to, every one has asked for ePub format. Not a single request for Mobi or PDF. Odd when you think how popular Kindle, with its exclusive use of Mobi, seems to be here, and that iPad and some other devices handle PDF pretty well. Cheers. Neil

The only reason to get Mobi is if you buy from Amazon, other than that ePub is the way to go, IMHO....

Mobi is only the preffered format on Kindle devices and pretty much all the rest use epub - your comment doesn't make any sense to me. Can you explain why do you feel the forum is a good place to advertise female escorts services? Mike |

I have the Onyx Boox 60, and I was going to say that I prefer epub because with any of the few mobi books I tried, there were no page breaks for new chapters or anything. Is that the same on yours or I am just finding poorly formatted mobi? I would like to be able to change fonts, but I much prefer page breaks.

I thought the Mobipocket format was being phased out? Last I heard, Amazon (who owns it) was getting rid of it and most places aren't using it anymore.

![]() I use only epubs on my Sony 600 Reader, and with all of them I can click a word and get the definition. Maybe this is reader-specific rather than fileformat-specific? I'm pretty new to all this, but eager to learn. ![]() |

There is a special mobi tag for page breaks. So, just poorly formatted .mobi files.
