This is how we would write about ePubs at DK: *The ePubs we create follow the EPUB 3.2 standard.* > *ePub* when referencing the product/file (also find it to be a more > readable/usable term in a book publication for pluralising the word as > "ePubs" / same with "eBooks") > *EPUB *when referencing the formatting standard of the product/file I have been using this criteria for years, so I hope this still stands to current standards.
