What Is a EPUB File?
EPUB (Electronic Publication) is the open standard ebook format maintained by the W3C. An EPUB file is a ZIP archive containing HTML content, CSS stylesheets, images, and metadata — essentially a portable mini-website packaged as a book. EPUB 3, the current version, supports HTML5, MathML, SVG, audio, video, and interactive content. EPUB is supported by Apple Books, Google Play Books, Kobo, and Adobe Digital Editions, but not natively by Amazon Kindle (which uses its own .mobi/.azw formats).
