Hi,
I started this article because I felt that an epub book is specific term and increasingly popular term for a book that is created using the EPUB format. Users with ereaders may be interested in this specific wording when they are searching for fiction and non-fiction books in an .epub format and it seems to go with the category (EPUB, ereaders, EPUB book). --Kary247 (talk) 02:17, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
- We already have a considerably more detailed article at EPUB. We don't create stubby duplicate articles where a developed article already exists. Yworo (talk) 18:18, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
- Yes I understand, it is just that the .epub article is an excellent article but very technical so I thought this might be a good topic for people who just want to know about epub books etc. so my suggested wording is:
An EPUB book is a book that has been created using the .epub format. An EPUB book can be read on a range of different ereaders, for example, iBooks, Adobe Digital Editions, Nook, Kobo, Sony Reader and Stanza. EPUB is the most popular open book format in the world and EPUB books are being specifically sought after by people who are looking for fiction and non-fiction books for their iPAD, Sony Reader, Nook, Kobo and other compatible hardware devices. A number of e-books are specific only to certain ereaders. In contrast, the EPUB book can be read on many different ereaders. Many consumers prefer not to have content restricted to one specific device.
