What is the BOOK file format?
Files with the extension BOOK belong to the category of ebook files.
What do BOOK files contain?
Content of files with the BOOK extension consists of electronic books. They are generated in a program called FrameMarker, which also allows for creating other extensive documents (e.g., user manuals, guides). The files with the BOOK extension store not only the content of the book but also all information about its structure. Therefore, in BOOK files, one can distinguish:
- titles,
- sections,
- chapters,
- bookmarks,
- tables of contents,
- bibliographies,
- hyperlinks and references to system and network resources.
What are BOOK files used for?
With dedicated software, users can use files with the BOOK extension to compile multiple textual resources, thereby creating their own ebook. BOOK files can be conveniently printed and quickly converted to other popular electronic book formats, as well as PDF documents. An interesting fact is that after changing the names of resources used in a file with the BOOK extension, the FrameMarker application automatically updates the links leading to them. This is because information stored in BOOK files is often generated in the form of hyperlinks leading to specific resources on the user's disk. This approach can also be used with documents located on the Internet.
