Technical Specifications & Codec Breakdown
EPUB vs. PDF on e-Readers
Reading a PDF on a 6-inch e-reader screen is frustrating because you have to pinch, zoom, and pan across rigid page coordinates. EPUB is reflowable HTML: enlarge the text, and words re-wrap naturally to fit any screen size or font preference.
The Open EPUB Standard vs. Amazon Kindle
EPUB is the open international standard used by Apple Books, Kobo, and Android e-readers. Amazon historically used proprietary MOBI and AZW formats, but modern Kindles now officially accept EPUB files directly.
