What is a MOBI file?
MOBI – Mobipocket e-book. MOBI is the e-book format of Mobipocket, once the format of Kindle e-readers. Older Kindles open it; newer ones prefer EPUB or AZW3. Books bought in a store often have DRM, which stops them from being converted.

RTF – Rich Text Format document. RTF (Rich Text Format) is a plain text format with formatting codes. Almost every word processor reads it, which made it the usual way to exchange formatted text; it has no real support for modern features.
