What is EPub Format?

EPUB icon logoMany ebooks in EBSCO can also be viewed in EPUB format in addition to the standard PDF format. EPUB is a format for delivering eBooks that enables publishers to create books that behave more like web content.

EPUB titles are often embedded with links to help the user navigate between sections, from the index to the relevant pages, and out to the open web.
