FictionBook
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
FictionBook is an open XML-based ebook format, which originated and gained popularity in Russia. It is supported by ebook readers such as FBReader, AlReader, Haali Reader and okular under Linux. The FictionBook files have the .fb2 extension.
The FictionBook format does not specify the representation of a document, describing its structure instead. For example, there are special tags for epigraphs, verses and quotations. All the ebook metadata, such as the author name, title, and publish information, is also present in the ebook file. Hence, the format is convenient for automatic processing, indexing, and ebook collections management. Moreover, it allows automatic conversion into other formats.
