| File Formats Supported | |
Ebook File Formats Supported:E-books are packaged in many different file formats, and not all e-readers support all formats. Many books are available for free in .txt, .pdf, and .epub formats, and these formats are supported by most e-readers. Books available for purchase at retail sites like Amazon, however, are packaged in specially-developed formats, and are not supported by all e-readers. The number of e-books that are available to read on an e-reader depends largely on the number of formats that are supported by the e-reader. The most popular open formats are PDF and EPUB, both of which are formats available for download from Google Books. Protected formats include AZW, used by Amazon and often DRM-supported, LIT by Microsoft, and BBeB from Sony.
