Most of the people writing about zinepal.com always describe the ability to create PDFs from web content. But zinepal.com has also been able to create Mobipocket eBooks for quite some time. Mobipocket is the eBook file format used by the Amazon Kindle and other eBooks readers. It has been around for a long time and is proprietary in nature. Initially zinepal.com didn't support including images in the Mobipocket eBooks, only text was included. Now zinepal.com has been updated to also include images in Mobipocket files. This is a nice improvement, since the Kindle does support grayscale images.

Another new feature is support for the ePub file format. ePub is an open eBook file format created by the International Digital Publishing Forum. It is the eBook file format used by the Sony eBook readers, such as the Sony PRS505 and Sony PRS700. Owners of Sony eBook readers and other ePub compatible devices and software should be very happy about this new feature.

In summary, zinepal.com now supports the following file formats - with text and images in all of them:

  • PDF for printing, e-mailing and reading on your computer
  • Mobipocket for the Amazon Kindle and other Mobipocket compatible software/devices
  • ePub for the Sony eBook readers (PRS505, PRS700, etc) and other ePub compatible software/devices
