As we known, PRC file is one of the Mobipocket e-book formats. Like mobi, the PRC format is compatible with Kindle. And another Kindle format, AZW, is basically the Mobipocket format with a slightly different serial number scheme. In other words, Kindle supports these three formats directly.

But every coin has two sides. Kindle does really give us a wonderful reading experience, but it only allows us to read his books on Kindle devices or Kindle apps, not most portable reading devices. So once you want to read PRC contents freely on a computer or other electronic equipment, such as iPad, iPhone, Nexus 7, Sony e-Reader, Kobo, etc, the guide convert Kindle (MOBI/PRC/AZW) to PDF may become your concern for PDF is the common eBook format.
