Source Format

FictionBook E-Book

application/x-fictionbook+xml

FB2 (FictionBook 2.0) is an XML-based e-book format popular primarily in Russia and Eastern Europe. It stores book content with structured metadata including author information, genre classification, and series data in a single XML file. FB2 separates content structure from presentation, allowing reading applications to apply their own styling while preserving the logical document hierarchy.

Advantages

  • Rich structured metadata including author, genre, series, and annotation
  • Single self-contained XML file with embedded images in base64
  • Strong support in Eastern European and Russian e-reading ecosystems

Limitations

  • Very limited adoption outside of Russia and Eastern Europe
  • Fewer features than EPUB 3 for multimedia and interactive content
  • Not supported by mainstream Western e-readers like Kindle or Kobo

Common Uses

  • Russian-language e-book distribution and libraries
  • Eastern European e-reader devices and applications
  • E-book archiving with comprehensive structured metadata

Target Format

RTF E-Book

application/rtf

RTF (Rich Text Format) is occasionally used as an e-book interchange format, providing basic text formatting capabilities including fonts, bold, italic, and paragraph styling. It offers a middle ground between plain text and fully featured e-book formats, with universal readability across word processors. RTF is sometimes used as an intermediate format when converting between e-book formats.

Advantages

  • Universal compatibility with all word processors and many e-book converters
  • Supports basic formatting including fonts, styles, and paragraph layout
  • Human-readable markup that can be edited in any text editor

Limitations

  • No support for e-book-specific features like table of contents or cover art
  • Limited formatting compared to EPUB or even MOBI
  • Not recognized as an e-book format by dedicated e-reader devices

Common Uses

  • Intermediate format for e-book conversion workflows
  • Manuscript submission to some publishers and agents
  • Simple formatted e-book content for universal distribution
