What Is an EPUB File?
EPUB is the open e-book standard: text that reflows to fit any screen and font size. Kobo, Apple Books, Google Play Books and — via Send to Kindle — Kindle all accept it. EPUB is a format rather than a compression method — zipped HTML chapters with styles and images. What is inside decides the quality.
