- Description
- 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.
- A PGM file is a grayscale image file saved in the portable gray map (PGM) format and encoded with one or two bytes (8 or 16 bits) per pixel. It contains header information and a grid of numbers that represent different shades of gray from black (0) to white (up to 65,536). PGM files are typically stored in ASCII text format, but also have a binary representation.
