EPUB

From The Document Foundation Wiki

This page covers multiple topics relating to the EPUB free/open e-book format as it relates to LibreOffice and The Document Liberation Project.

What is EPUB?

Here's what Wikipedia has to say:

EPUB, (short for electronic publication) is a free and open e-book standard by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). Files have the extension .epub.

EPUB is designed for reflowable content, meaning that an EPUB reader can optimize text for a particular display device. EPUB also supports fixed-layout content. The format is intended as a single format that publishers and conversion houses can use in-house, as well as for distribution and sale. It supersedes the Open eBook standard.
