The main difference between epub format and Doc is that e-books with the format of epub has the ability of better optimization for smartphones (android phones, Apple and windows mobile), tablets and PCs. One of the amazing features is the ability of reading e-books and having access to millions of books in different languages in different websites. Also, there are huge number of software to read these books with different formats which some of them are mentioned below:

Also, there are lots of software to create these books.
However, to use this facility is limited for Persian spoken people. That is, Persian books in the format of this book readers are extremely rare or it is almost unavailable. Only limited number of books exist in this format which are created by authors who resides in other countries or those who didn’t have publication license and usually those Novels which do not contain interesting content.
These book readers usually do not support Persian, Arabic or other letters apart from Latin. Recently, the latest version of IOS can support Persian and Arabic and only with the latest version of Mac the Persian books could be read. However, there are several book reader software which read Persian and Arabic books for Android, windows mobile and Nokia. However, finding Persian and Arabic books is as hard as finding book reader software. Therefore, Ghaemiyeh research center has solved this main issue, with 24 hours of researching, and provided more than 15000 books in Persian, Arabic and English for those who need Islamic Science Education so that everyone in the world can use these books. We also promise to our user that we will provide Islamic Science Books in different live languages in the world.

Note:

Google has announced that all users can download more than one million books in ePub format. However, google previously has given this archive to companies such as Sony, Barnes and Noble. However, until now, users were unable to download the ePub files for free. Moreover, google will create the PDF file of these books for downloading. Thus, those users who use eReader, will find the new ePub more helpful.

If you don’t have the hardwear of eReader and you want to read ePub files, you can install “Stanza” or “Desktop reader”

EPUB: is the only standard International Digital Publishing Forum to regularize all e-Books.

EPUB is a Free standardized format that almost all hardware eReader or desktop reader understand it.
“Amazon Kindle” is not able to read the ePub texts without using other softwares to make it readable for Kindle.
While there are other formats, ePub become a standard format for e-Books. Some sellers such as “Sony”, covers these books under a DRM (Digital rights management). However, others will let the books completely open without this kind of cover. ePub files from google books are not under the DRM cover.

It is important to take a note that ePub files are created by an Optical Character Recognition (OCR) System and they are not edited afterwards. However, this software is developed well.

Introduction to jar format:

Java is a programming language created by one of the engineers from the Sun Company called “James Gosling”. James has created JAVA for personal usage apart from C++. Similarly, Linux Torvalds has created Linux for his own usage.

James, first called this program Oak. At that time SUN COMPANY didn’t continue to develop the Oak. However, as the Internet was developing fast and by considering, some features functionality of the program and compatibility with Internet needs, they decided to activate the Oak project and called it JAVA.

The name “JAVA” is obtained from “Jsut Another Vague Acronym”, because all of the writers of this language were interested in Coffee. This, could be seen in Java Logo as well.

The first version of JAVA was written in 1995 and in 1997 the version 1.1 and subsequently version 2.1 were released afterwards. However, until now different versions with different features was released into the market. JAVA is the mother language for “Solaris” operation system. Similarly, “Basic” for Windows and “C” for Unix.

The most important features of Java are that you can use frequently the pre-written codes. Other features are that it is used on different systems. For example, if you have write a program with intel, you can easily use it in Macintosh and Unix. This feature is the key of success for Java.

Simplicity, portability, high performance, robustness, dynamics, and high safety are other features of Java.
The Usual programs which are written by Java are “Applet”. Applet is a dynamic program that runs on a web page and to view that a browser that supports Java needed. Additionally, you can write multi-purpose, high -level applications such as Service Network or Mail server softwares.

Installing Java files

Java applications are usually with the suffix of “jar” or “jad”. Installation of these applications are as same as applications with the format of “sis”

However, sometime the format of these files is changed or, for example, it is changed manually to “Zip” file. If you open these file, usually there are several other files with the format of “Class”. If your file does not have these 2 formats, you can manually change the format by choosing “Rename” option.

To be mentioned, if the App “PC-Suite” or similar application is not installed on your PC you will see this file with the Zip icon. However, it is a file with the format of jar or jad. Anyhow, if you are sure you have the file in java format move the file to your smartphone. Find the file in your phone and click on the file to install it.

Introduction to Html Format

HTML is the abbreviation of “Hyper Text Markup Language”. A HTML file is a text formed of “markup tag”. The “Browsers” realize that how they can show the screen with “Markup Tags”.

> A html file should have the suffix “html” or “htm”.
> Html file is a text which could be created by any simple editors.
> The main functionality of HTML’s tags (Markup Tags) is that how to show the information,

The difference between Suffix “html” and “htm”:

Webpages are usually the files with the suffix of “htm” and “html”. But what is the web?
the simplest definition of “web” is: the connected pages on internet are called web. These pages contain texts, picture, video, audio etc.
These pages use the “links” which is usually a highlighted text to that part of the text has different graphic. By moving your mouse pointer on that part the color is changed and by clicking on it you will be directed to a new page.

Familiarizing with these 2 Formats:

The international web language is (HTML) “Hyper Text Markup Language”. Web pages are designed based on HTML format. The most important features of HTML are listed below:

1- It uses the Hyperlinks
2- Ability to use different styles of lettering using frames
3- To create different tables and text which are designed before
4- To insert graphical pictures in HTML as hyperlink
5- To create form for the user to fill up

But what is the difference between these 2 suffix?

In fact, there are not any main differences between these 2. The only difference is in letter “L” which you can see in “HTML” not in “HTM”. This difference refers to the time that “htm” was initiated when DOS and Windows 3.0 was the operation system. DOS would accept the 8 characters for the name of a file and only 3 characters for a suffix. Other servers specially “UNIIX” to make all the filles adaptable for those who uses DOS, decided to make the suffix of hypertext to 3 character “htm”. However there is not any other difference.

The things you need to know before learning about “HTML”.

To work with HTML you need the things which are listed below

You need a text editor. In windows you can use Notepad. You also can use other text editor applications, however, some software such as “WordPad”, “Microsoft Office Word” and other similar Apps are not suitable for writing HTML Codes, because while saving the text these applications will add some codes to them.

You can find “NotePad” in Start in “Accessories” or using “Run” command by typing “notepad” in the box “Open” and clicking Enter.

You also need a browser such as “Microsoft Internet Explorer” which is install along with Windows or Mozilla Firefox, Opera and other browsers which are usually free to download.

Its better to test the pages you have written in different browsers. Because there are some parts in HTML which are specifically for one browser and is not usable for other browsers.

For using HTML you don’t need to be connected to the internet. You only need to use a browser in your computer.

To save the notepad file click on “Save As” from “File” menu and choose a directory. Type the name of the file with the suffix of “html” in the box “File Name” and click on Save.

Note:

You can use the books in HTML in different applications such as “Word” and…

Introduction to PDF Format:

PDF is a format used for e-Books and compared to other formats like “Doc” is better, because when moving it from a PC to another one the order of the text is not changed. Thus, most of people prefer to transfer files in PDF because, the application to read that file might not be installed on their computer.

How to read PDF

To read PDF file we need to use “Adobe Acrobat Reader”. You can download this app from this website: www.Adobe.com/acrobat

To download a PDF file instead of clicking on file, its better to right click on that and choose the option “Save Target As” to save the file on the PC and easily open the file.
