Technical details
Mobipocket/PRC ebooks use a Palm database container with a MOBI header and optional EXTH metadata records before content records. [1]
Background and compatibility
The Library of Congress documents the historical PRC/MOBI relationship; PRC is also a generic Palm database suffix, so not every PRC is an ebook. [1]
