EPUB and HTML explained

EPUB is essentially a website in a box — a ZIP of XHTML and CSS. Because the content is reflowable, the reader chooses the font size and the text re-wraps, rather than being locked to a page.

HTML is the markup language of the web, describing document structure — headings, paragraphs, lists, links — which browsers then render.

Where EPUB files come from
E-book stores, library lending and self-publishing.
Where HTML is used
Web pages, email templates and exports from documentation tools.

EPUB vs HTML

The two formats solve different problems, which is why converting between them involves trade-offs rather than a straight upgrade.

Why convert EPUB to HTML?

People make this switch when they run into the limits of EPUB: layout-critical content such as illustrated children's books or technical manuals with precise figures. HTML is the better fit when publishing on the web or generating documents programmatically.

EPUB limitations that prompt the switch
Kindle needs conversion or a different format. Fixed-layout content such as comics works poorly. Rendering varies between readers.
What you give up
Layout depends on the renderer and available fonts. Not a fixed-layout format.

What is preserved when converting EPUB to HTML?

Both formats store the content without discarding data, so this conversion preserves it exactly. The file size may change because the two formats compress differently, but the content itself is unaffected.
