EPUB
Electronic reading format
EPUB is a standard file format for digital books and publications, short for electronic publication.
Most e-readers and reading apps support EPUB files, which allow text to reflow for different screen sizes: I downloaded the EPUB version for my tablet.
The format competes with Amazon's proprietary Kindle format.
