- Description
- It can be likened to a .cbr file but it uses .zip compression not .rar like in CBR file. It is a comic book zip file format with several images (in different or the same format) arranged in pages.
- The FB2 (FictionBook 2.0 File) format is an open XML-based ebook format specifically designed for fictional literature, although it can also accommodate non-fiction. Unlike other ebook formats, FB2 focuses on the structure and content of the book, rather than its appearance. This means that the layout, font, and styling are determined by the e-reader device or software, offering a more uniform reading experience across different platforms.
