EPUB is an e-book file format with the extension .epub
which can be downloaded and read on devices like smartphones, tablets, computers, or e-readers. It is a free and open standard published by the International Digital Publishing Forum. The term is short for electronic publication and is sometimes styled ePub. EPUB became an official standard of the IDPF in September 2007, superseding the older Open eBook standard. The Book Industry Study Group endorses EPUB 3 as the format of choice for packaging content and has stated that the global book publishing industry should rally around a single standard. EPUB is the most widely supported vendor-independent XML-based (as opposed to PDF) e-book format; that is, it is supported by the largest number of hardware readers, including Amazon Kindle Fire.
It is also widely used on many software readers such as iBooks on Apple devices, and Google Books on Android. iBooks also supports the proprietary iBook format. This format is based on the EPUB format but depends upon custom widget code in the iBooks app to function.
Put that gun to my temple
Put that gun on my heart
Throw my head out the window
& see semen see semen my feet in the dark
A-I-D
H-I-V
Cannot wait to die
Can't you tell
Can't you tell
Can't you tell
Never finish my degree, cha-chi
Never play with the pogues
Always walk off the plank chi-cha
All always, always into the dark
A-I-D
H-I-V
I cannot wait to die
Can't you tell
Can't you tell
