Mobipocket is a digital publishing platform that allows users to create, distribute, and read eBooks. Founded in 2000, it became popular for its eBook reader software and the MOBI file format, which is designed for mobile devices. The platform supports various content types, including novels, magazines, and academic papers.
In 2005, Amazon acquired Mobipocket, integrating its technology into the Kindle ecosystem. This acquisition helped expand the reach of eBooks and made it easier for authors and publishers to share their work. Today, Mobipocket's legacy continues through the Kindle format, which remains widely used in the eBook market.
