A MOBI file is known as Mobipocket e-book and it is one of the file formats developed by Amazon for its Kindle devices. This format is the foundation for all Kindle file formats. MOBI files differ from other popular e-book formats like epub in that they are protected by Digital Rights Management (DRM), which ensures that the book is restricted to only one device and cannot be used unless registered to the user's account.

MOBI file formats served as the basis for the recently introduced KF8 format, which is widely used in modern Kindle versions. Although the usage of MOBI has declined over time due to the increasing popularity of e-books and e-readers, it remains the foundation for many other more recent formats such as AZW and AZW1. In conclusion, MOBI is still an essential aspect of e-book technology and will continue to be so in the foreseeable future.

Programs for opening MOBI files include the Kindle and Calibre.
