EPUB has become the gold standard for e-books globally in the three years since the International Digital Publishing Forum — the organization that created it — became part of the Worldwide Web Consortium (W3C). The consortium has made a lot of progress in supporting and improving the standard under the auspices of its Publishing@W3C activity. EPUB is now the primary format for accessible books, and the W3C has also created a formal specification for audiobooks that is being rapidly adopted by audiobook publishers and reading systems.
