Is it safe as PDF (i know PDF can be virus ridden by usually embedding the virus in specific parts of the PDF layers or so I heard a while ago, which I usually am careful what PDF i open) or more/less?
Should be, yes.
Thanks, I'll try it
More safe, imo, since at present nobody really bothers to try and use epub that way because it's essentially only used for reading, and in apps that aren't going to be able to do much in the way of escalating privileges. PDFs at least get used on a wider range of devices , and for more use cases.
Thanks that's reassuring.
