Hi Mark,
Thanks for your response. By "supported," I was wondering if an out of the box
DSpace install would be able to store EPUBs and make them accessible or would
we have to develop that functionality. From your email, It seems like it would
be something that we would have to develop in-house if we wanted to store EPUB
in our DSpace.

"supported" is kind of a fuzzy word. You can store *any* kind of file
in a DSpace bitstream and describe it using almost any sort of
metadata. What specific forms of support are you looking for?
It does look as though text extraction from EPUB for indexing would be
a useful and doable extension for DSpace.
