popular Russian formats for e-books

As some Russian speaking PSS have already probably noticed, many Russian speakers come to the library with questions about their e-readers : mainly how they can use them to read books in Russian.

It is important to know that the leading e-book formats in Russia are at this point fb2, djVu, RTF and html. So for e-readers such as NOOK or iPad, etc., a question arises - how to view and read these books.

The answer is simple - these formats should be converted into the format readable by most american readers, which is e-pub. Here you will see how one can do it using free software Calibre

Fb2 format is not mentioned in this article, but from my own experience with Calibre I can tell that it converts into e-pub just as well through this software.
