The books are downloaded to the Kindle App. on my Nexus 7. How can I tell what the format is?

Common ebook formats:

AZW - Amazon
EPUB - An open format defined by the Open eBook Forum
KF8 - Amazon Kindle Fire
LIT - Microsoft Reader
MOBI - MobiPocket
PDB - Palm
PDF - Portable Document Format
PRC - Palm
RTF - Rich Text Format
TPZ - Amazon Kindle Topaz file
TXT - Plain Text file

There are many other formats.  It seems that each company that manufactures a reader thinks they need a proprietary format.  There are many programs to convert files.

I used to be crazy until I found out that insane pays more.

Where am I?  What am I doing in this handbasket?

There is a setting to enable more realistic tone inflection but it requires a data connection. I'll look it up and get back to you...

Like Loocid said There is a checkbox in settings for a more realistic inflection with an  connection.
Change speed in Settings /Language and Input/Speech /Text to Speech Output rate

That worked fine. The only problem is I told my wife. So she wanted it faster. I set it back where it was. Thank you anyway.
