MOBI (Mobipocket) is an ebook format originally developed by Mobipocket SA, later acquired by Amazon in 2005. MOBI files use the .mobi extension and are based on the Open eBook standard with proprietary extensions for DRM and advanced formatting.

MOBI is widely compatible with all generations of Kindle devices and Kindle apps, making it ideal for users with older Kindles. While Amazon has transitioned to newer formats like AZW3 (KF8), MOBI remains the most broadly compatible format for the Kindle ecosystem.
EPUB (Electronic Publication) is an open ebook standard developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF), now part of the W3C. First released in 2007 as a successor to Open eBook, EPUB has become the most widely supported ebook format. EPUB files are ZIP archives containing HTML/XHTML content, CSS styling, images, and metadata organized according to the EPUB specification.

EPUB's key feature is reflowable content—text automatically adapts to different screen sizes, making it ideal for e-readers, tablets, and phones. The format supports embedded fonts, multimedia (in EPUB 3), and accessibility features. Most e-readers except Amazon Kindle natively support EPUB.
