Em Portugal e no Brasil, onde a mobilidade é chave e o consumo de conteúdo em smartphones e tablets é dominante, ter os seus textos num formato adaptável faz toda a diferença. Imagine partilhar relatórios, e-books ou até mesmo documentos bancários de forma que se ajustem perfeitamente ao dispositivo do leitor, sem zooms desnecessários ou quebras de formatação. O EPUB oferece essa fluidez, tornando a experiência de leitura agradável e acessível, seja qual for o tamanho do ecrã. Diga adeus aos PDFs estáticos e olá à liberdade de um conteúdo que o acompanha, adaptando-se a si.
