NOTE: The acronyms on the left refer to file extensions. A file called "War and Peace.txt" indicates, for example, that you have an electronic copy of the book War and Peace in "TXT" or "Plain text" format. Also, a "Y" in a box means that a device is compatible with the corresponding file format.
*The LRF extension is also sometimes known as BBeB or "Broad Band eBook."
