NOTE: PDF files can be viewed in most browsers. Epub and mobi files can be downloaded and viewed in an e-reader. Barnes & Nobel’s Nook (and many other devices) use the .epub format. Amazon’s Kindle used to require the .mobi format. Kindle still supports existing .mobi files, but Amazon now recommends (and “Save to Kindle” requires) using the .epub or PDF format.
