An XML format file extension, ePub is used for creating re-flowable, resizable digital publications and books. It is an open and standard format and allows interoperability between hardware and software. This has made ePub a highly preferred format for electronic publications. ePub conversion is a major service provided by a document scanning company that benefits authors and publishers. Files in PDF format are often converted into ePub format, mainly with a view to enhance the reading experience on electronic devices. Though PDF is a popular format, some people prefer the greater flexibility offered by ePub. The ePub format allows text size to adjust to the dimensions of an eReader’s/Tablet’s screen, while retaining the original formatting and layout. Moreover, some devices like iPads offer native support for ePubs and none for PDFs.
