FB2 at a glance

FB2

FB2 became especially visible in Eastern European ebook ecosystems, where community standards and open library habits shaped ebook distribution differently from Kindle or EPUB-first markets.

NCX

NCX was defined in the 2005 DAISY and ANSI-NISO talking-book standard, then carried forward into EPUB 2 and later treated as a legacy compatibility feature once EPUB 3 introduced XHTML navigation documents.
