The ePub format is to be adapted for Chinese language eBooks. This makes the ePub favourite a strong contender to become the main format here in the West where the format wars are currently being fought.
The push to promote a standard e-book format by the two economies could have far-reaching implications for the e-book and e-reader markets. The Chinese are avid readers and publishers will have to use the EPUB (.epub) format for materials they hope to sell in the market of 1.3 billion people. People in Taiwan also enjoy reading, and companies on the island are leading the charge to build e-readers. Government backing by China and Taiwan will encourage them to make EPUB one of the standards available on their devices.
