FictionBook is an open XML-based e-book format which originated and gained popularity in Russia. FictionBook files have the or filename extension, according to their version. All FB2/FB3 capable readers also support ZIP-compressed FictionBook files ( or ).
The FictionBook2 format describes the eBook's structure, rather than defining its layout. For example, there are special tags for epigraphs, verses and quotations. All eBook metadata, such as author name, title, and publisher are also present in the eBook file. This makes the format convenient for automatic processing, indexing, ebook collection management and allows for easy automated conversion into other formats.
