Description
Psion developed the .tcr file to be used together with their Series palmtop devices which were created in the 1990s. The primary intention for developing this format was for use on the device, however some eBook readers can still function to allow viewing of .tcr files. The file format became out dated after the production of palmtop was stopped.
