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.
Microsoft Word (DOC and DOCX): You can open DOC file with Microsoft Word application which is a part of Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft Word is a very popular word processing application.
