Sony Portable Reader File (.lrf)

The LRF (Sony Portable Reader File) is a proprietary eBook format developed by Sony for its eReaders, such as the Sony Reader. It stores eBooks and textual content in a compressed binary format, including text, images, and pagination data. Introduced as part of the Broad Band eBook (BBeB) family, LRF files are unencrypted, whereas their encrypted counterparts use the LRX extension. The format became obsolete in 2010 when Sony transitioned to the EPUB format. Despite its obsolescence, LRF files can still be opened and converted using various software tools.

Text Compressed for Readability (.tcr)

The TCR file extension stands for Text Compressed for Readability, originally used by Psion Series 3 palmtop devices in the early 1990s. It stores eBooks in a proprietary format that offers better compression than PalmDOC, making it suitable for the limited storage of handheld devices. Despite the discontinuation of Psion devices, TCR files can still be read using modern eReaders like Sumatra PDF.
