About EPUB and TXT
What Is an EPUB File
EPUB, short for electronic publication, is a popular e-book file format that uses the “.epub” file extension. It’s available for most devices (like computers, tablets, and smartphones) and is widely used by publishers and readers. As an XML-based file format, EPUB is supported by almost all hardware readers except for Kindle.
An EPUB file is an archive that includes text, images, metadata, fonts, and so on. Besides, it’s a reflowable document that can optimize text for a particular display. That’s to say, the content of an EPUB file can be resized and changed to fit different screen sizes, orientations, and resolutions.
What Is a TXT File
A TXT file is a standard text file that only contains plain text without any other formatting. It’s created with the “.txt” file extension and is one of the most commonly used file types. Many operating systems support TXT files, offering default tools to help you create, access, or edit a TXT file with ease.
