FictionBook is an open XML-based e-book format, which originated and gained popularity in Russia. It is supported by e-book readers such as FBReader, AlReader, Haali Reader and Okular under Linux. The FictionBook files have the .fb2 filename extension.

The FictionBook format does not specify the appearance of a document; instead, it describes its structure. For example, there are special tags for epigraphs, verses and quotations. All the ebook metadata, such as the author name, title, and publisher, is also present in the ebook file. Hence the format is convenient for automatic processing, indexing, and ebook collection management. This also allows automatic conversion into other formats.
