<br>
EPUB is one format for e-books, destined to be read on an e-book reader <br>
(translation: a Kindle, Nook or similar). Think about EPUB as a <br>
structured XML-file with searchable text, a TOC and links back and <br>
forth, perhaps with illustrations and often a graphical front page (the <br>
cover).<br>
Most e-book reader devices can also display PDF-files, sometimes <br>
specially crafted to look nice on aforementioned devices.<br>
<br>
Due to their nature, EPUBs are not really designed for printing and thus <br>
quite outside of the scope Scribus tries to address; nevertheless in <br>
many cases it happens that people are publishing the same material for <br>
various media (web, print, e-readers) and would like a simple way of <br>
doing so.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps (even if simplistic),<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
Sveinn ķ Felli<br>
