Understanding Word and EPUB file formats

Word files, typically with extensions like .doc or .docx, are widely used for creating and editing text documents. They are primarily associated with Microsoft Word, a part of the Microsoft Office suite. These files can contain text, images, tables, and various formatting options, making them versatile for different types of documents.

EPUB (Electronic Publication) is a popular eBook format that is designed for reflowable content, meaning the text display can be optimized for different devices. EPUB files are widely supported by eReaders, tablets, and smartphones, making them a preferred choice for digital book distribution.
