IPA recognizes EPUB 3 as a preferred standard format for representing HTML and other web content for distribution as single-file publications.
A crucial part of IPA's mission is to inform member associations and the wider global publishing community about breaking developments which will impact publishers. We do this through a number of channels. the IPA website, our monthly e-newsletter, press releases and the IPA's dedicated social media feeds.
