E-books in this format have low requirements for the running environment. However, this format of e-books also has some shortcomings. For example, EXE files produced by most related production software do not support Flash, Java and common audio and video files, and need the support of IE browser. 2.TXT file format The text document format in computers should be widely used in electronic products now. Now TXT novels are the most common, which can not only be conveniently opened on computers, but also downloaded to MP3 and mobile phones. 3.CHM file format CHM file format is a help file system based on the characteristics of HTML files, which was introduced by Microsoft 1998 to replace the early WinHelp system.
