Greetings,
When downloading books from zlibrary, the top option is the format which is stated in the description, with “basic format” added in the end. The rest of the options may include the same format without the “basic format” tag in the end and they are slightly bigger.
What’s their difference? Is it the same document re-formated to the same format thus making it slightly bigger or does it have anything extra?
Like, supposing there’s a book which is a pdf. The options may be:
- pdf basic format 1.2mb
- pdf 1.25mb
- epub 1mb
What’s the difference between the first two?
PS. My first post on lemmy!🙃
have you tried to download both files and comparing the differences?
That was smart actually.😅
Just tried it on “The night circus” book and the only difference I could find is an extra page on the pdf (no tag) version (the second page to be exact, which has the cover again like the first page).
Is that all? Do the “basic format” versions just have the cover once?
I haven’t found any difference as well, it could be that basic pdf is just pdf with reduced functions, like without bookmarks, linkings, and less image pages like covers.
Hm, I don’t know all seem to be the same apart from the second page, even the linkings work etc.🤷 Tnx for trying to help tho.
What about bookmarks?
If by that you mean the index page where you press a link-word (usually underlined and blue as it’s a local(?) link) and sends you to the appropriate page, it works on both.
