Guidelines for Preserving New Forms of Scholarship

The EPUB specification defines a list of core media types that are supported. Using formats outside of this list introduces an additional risk for preservation since EPUB reader tools may not support these formats. Publishers should therefore consider whether using something outside of these types is justifiable given that doing so may result in the loss of that media.

This more general guideline may also be useful to consider:
11. Use non-proprietary, broadly supported and adopted open file formats
