epubs
Downloadable reading material
Epubs are digital book files in the EPUB format, a standard for e-readers and reading apps.
The format allows text to reflow for different screen sizes, unlike fixed-layout PDFs.
I downloaded a few epubs for the flight.
The term is informal—the format itself is properly written EPUB.
