No, you can store and access *any* kind of file, and describe it well too, out of the box. (Well, you may need to register a MIME type for it, or provide a suitable metadata schema definition.) What you cannot do is index the content of some file which is not flat text and for which no text extractor has yet been written. So if you want full-text searching of EPUB files then someone would have to write a plugin to extract flat text from them. -- Mark H.
