Overview

EPUB is an open standard for electronic publications. It declares set of features that reading system must implement to render all documents and describes structure and contents of electronic publication.

EPUB 2.0.1

Current version of EPUB standard is 2.0.1 (work in progress on EPUB3). It consist of three specifications:

  • Open publication structure (OPS)
  • Open packaging format (OPF)
  • Open container format (OCF)

You can find more details at the official EPUB website. In brief, OPS defines in what way the content of publication is stored(HTML/XHTML and CSS) and what file types reading system should always support(so called "Core media types"); OPF defines what files are obligatory and describes their contents.
