Introduction This document provides a high-level, non-collection-specific assessment of the Mobipocket file format with regard to long-term preservation risks and the practicalities of preserving data in the format. This format assessment is one of a series of assessments carried out by the British Library's Digital Preservation Team. An explanation of the criteria used in this assessment is provided in italics below most headings. 1.1 Scope This document is specifically focused on the Mobipocket file format – sometimes also known as the MOBI format – although it will also note relationships with other formats and standards as necessary, including the Open eBook Publication Structure (OEBPS) and XHTML, as well as the derived AZW and KF8 formats used by Amazon. A general overview of eBook formats is provided in a separate file format assessment (1). Please note that this assessment considers format issues only, and does not explore other factors essential to a preservation planning exercise, e.g. the collection specific characteristics that need to be considered before implementing preservation actions.
