PDF

Portable Document Format

One of the more common ebook formats. Use either Acrobat Reader or Foxit to view these file.


CHM

Compiled HTML Format (yes, it`s an acronym of an acronym)

Common in ebooks, enables search and has good quality. However, has one major drawback: cannot be opened from a network resource. File must be local on the computer in order to open it. So I suggest you convert these books to PDF if you want to use them remotely. To use just install Windows...


DJVU

Nothing to add

Scanned books format, good in size but you can't search the text. To open these file download and install WinDjView.

BBeB

Broad Band eBook

Sony Reader file format.

Mobi

Amazon kindle file format.
