EPUB: EPUB is an electronic book file format that uses the EPUB
file extension, which is an acronym for the English expression Electronic
PUBlication. EPUB is supported by many hardware and software e-book
readers. It is a format developed by the IDPF (International Digital
Publishing Forum) based on the optional use of CSS style sheets of XML and
XHTM, having as a basic concept the adaptation of the presentation to the
screens of the different devices through a design floating type. The EPUB
file is a ZIP file with the extension .epub. In other words, it contains
text and graphic elements in PDF, HTML and xHTML formats.
MOBI: The MOBI file extension for e-books was created by
Mobipocket, producer of the free Mobipocket Reader software for e-books on
mobile devices, PDAs, computers, and smartphones. Currently Mobipocket
belongs to Amazon. Converting this type of file is very convenient for new
devices, especially Android devices. In the MOBI digital book format its
format is not limited and it adapts to the different sizes of the screens
of the many electronic book readers on the market. MOBI files follow the
Open eBook XHTML standard with JavaScript support. Users have the power to
add pages, annotations and notes to these files for their personal use.
