About formats

MOBI is an ebook format originally developed by Mobipocket SA, a French company founded in 2000 that was later acquired by Amazon in 2005. The format builds on the PalmDOC/PDB container structure, adding support for HTML-based content markup, embedded images, a DRM layer, and a JavaScript subset for limited interactivity. MOBI files use a record-based database architecture inherited from Palm OS, with a header structure containing metadata like title, author, publisher, and language followed by compressed HTML content records. The format became the foundation of Amazon's early Kindle ecosystem — the original AZW format used on first-generation Kindles was essentially MOBI with Amazon's own DRM wrapper. MOBI supports reflowable text with basic formatting including bold, italic, headings, lists, and tables, as well as internal hyperlinks and a built-in table of contents. One advantage is broad device compatibility: MOBI files are recognized by Kindle devices and apps spanning over a decade of hardware, as well as numerous third-party readers on desktop and mobile platforms. The format's lightweight structure is another strength — even long novels produce compact files that load quickly on modest hardware. While Amazon has since moved to the more capable AZW3/KF8 format for new publishing, MOBI remains widely circulated in existing ebook libraries and continues to be produced by conversion tools like Calibre for maximum Kindle compatibility.

POTM (PowerPoint Template with Macros) is a macro-enabled template format for Microsoft PowerPoint, introduced with Office 2007 as part of the Office Open XML family. POTM combines the template functionality of POTX — providing reusable slide masters, layouts, themes, and design foundations — with the ability to embed VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) macro code that executes in presentations created from the template. The format is a ZIP archive containing the standard XML parts for slide masters, layouts, and themes, plus a vbaProject.bin stream housing the VBA project. This combination enables organizations to distribute not just visual consistency but also functional automation: every presentation created from a POTM template inherits both the design system and the programmatic capabilities built into it. Common use cases include templates that automatically populate slides with data from corporate systems, enforce content approval workflows, insert standardized disclaimer slides, or provide custom ribbon tabs with organization-specific tools. One advantage is embedded workflow automation — a POTM template can include initialization macros that configure the presentation environment, add custom menu options, and connect to external data sources the moment a new presentation is created from it. The distinct .potm extension serves a security purpose as well, enabling administrators to apply differentiated trust policies for macro-containing templates versus standard POTX files. POTM is supported exclusively in Microsoft PowerPoint desktop editions where VBA execution is available.
