01

DOCX
DOCX is Microsoft Word's default document format since 2007, an Office Open XML file that Word, Google Docs and Pages open.
EPUB
EPUB is the open e-book standard used by Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books and Kindle via Send to Kindle.
FILE FORMATS
SOURCE
Word switched to DOCX with Office 2007. A DOCX is a ZIP of XML files describing text, styles, tables, images, comments and tracked changes, standardized as ISO Office Open XML. It is the default exchange format for editable documents, accepted by Word, Google Docs, Pages, LibreOffice and most online forms.
TARGET
EPUB is maintained by the W3C and is built from HTML, CSS and images packed in a ZIP file. The text reflows to fit any screen, readers can change the font and size, and chapters appear in a table of contents. Apple Books, Kobo, Google Play Books and most e-readers use it, and Kindle accepts it through Send to Kindle.

TROUBLESHOOTING
E-books follow document structure, not page layout.
01
Chapters come from Word's Heading styles. Text that is only bold or large isn't treated as a heading.
02
E-books have no fixed pages, so those elements aren't used.
03
Page-layout features don't exist in reflowable e-books. Keep important text in the main body.
04
Reading apps use their own fonts unless the reader changes them. That is normal for EPUB.
05
Add a cover image in your publishing platform or e-book editor after converting.
06
Stores run their own checks. Fix the issue they report and convert again.
