The latest revolution in Book reading practice has been the
introduction of eBooks. Ebooks have become the most convenient and easy to use
book cultural option which makes buying, viewing, transferring and carrying
millions of books ridiculouslyeasy. The major format which actually facilitates
the change in culture, is PDF, Doc and ePub. EPub format introduced by
International Digital Publishing forum, cam etc supersede the existing old
digital book format. Thereby the new format supported the various technological
content related changes, which included support for graphical inclusions,
multimedia content, three layered depth enhancements etc. Thus, ePub became the
household benchmark for the creation of highly engaging and involving reading
experience.
The major advantage that ePub has at this point of time is
its versatile nature. When we say versatile, we mean that ePub is by far the

some changes, and eventually Amazon for its kindle devices preferred and
adopted Mobi format (getting its base and roots from ePub) as its native eBook
format. Having said that, ePub still is a go to eBook format for devices like
Nook, Kobo, Google Books, Apple iBooks etc, which majorly covers all the eBook

Support for Vectore designs (much like HTML), Resizable Fonts, Support for
MathMl etc. Also, ePub format was a pioneer in introducing Digital Rights

authorized and secured digital publication work from illegal use all over the
world. Let’s see the process involved in how to read EPub
