What is the EPUB format supported by Digital Editions?
EPUB is the file extension of an XML format for reflowable digital books and publications. It consists of three open standards — Open Publication Structure (OPS), Open Packaging Format (OPF), and Open Container Format (OCF) — produced by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). EPUB allows publishers to produce and send a single digital publication file through distribution and offers consumers interoperability between software/hardware for unencrypted reflowable digital books and other publications. In addition, EPUB includes capabilities for scalable vector graphics (SVG) and structured tables of contents, and it incorporates compatibility with the related DAIST DTBook standard for accessible content.
