TXT is a format supported by virtually allelectronic books. Such files occupy very little space in the memory of the device. They open extremely quickly. But they are endowed with a significant drawback: the lack of formatting, markup, alignment and hyphenation. Reading books in this format is hard. The text, which looks like an even cloth, is not well perceived.

One of the most convenient and commonfile formats for reading on electronic devices - FB2. It does not support numbered lists, so it is not suitable for encyclopedias and textbooks. To read poetry collections, he is also not the best option, because he ignores the author's formatting of poems. But it is almost ideal for most prose works of art. The FB2 format stores information about the genre and the author. Books are structured: there is a cover, a breakdown into chapters, footnotes, illustrations are displayed.

Another popular format for e-books -ePub. It is supported by almost all readers. It is a set of files. If you open the document as an archive, you can see the texts, pictures, fonts, service files. Books like ePub can have a fairly complex formatting. The files contain metadata: the name and language of the document, sometimes the name of the author, translator, genre of the work, etc.

DjVu format is used for storagescanned versions of magazines and books. The documents are compressed. To read works with readers, DjVu files are not suitable. The screen of such devices is too small to provide a normal display of the pages. In this format, as a rule, old books are distributed.

PDF files are also bad for reading onelectronic books. They are very large, so loading takes quite a lot of time. In addition, you can not change the font size. Increasing the scale of the page, the reader will be forced to view it in parts.

RTF - the universal format of text documents. Good in those cases when it is necessary that a file without conversion is opened on most devices. For e-books is optional.
7
Texts in the DOC format are not supported by all e-books. Typically, such files are translated using special programs in ePub.

In addition to text documents, some readers can open images (BMP, GIF, JPEG), audio files (MP3, WAV).
