The OEBFF is a file format proposed by Garth Conboy and John Rivlin, now
of eBook Technologies, which uses the Multipurpose Internet Mail
Extensions (MIME) to physically (well, conceptually) bundle OEBPS files
together into a single file. I believe that the OEBFF is the file format
used natively by the eBook Technologies ETI-1 and ETI-2 reading devices.
Thus, OEBPS and OEBFF are not competing standards, but are, in fact,
complementary technologies: the OEBPS describes one way of defining how
multiple files can be combined to create a single digital publication,
and the OEBFF describes one way of encapsulating those component files
into a single file for subsequent transfer or use.

You have made me very happy. My eBookwise Reader reads OEBFF and so does my husband's, which is en route to us now. So apparently we are not going to have to rush out a year from now and replace them.

 

Thanks for the info.
