EPUB or PDF are the primary formats. DOCX is a fallback for ordinary text-based work where layout is not constitutive.
Ordinary file limit: 10 MB for Fiction, Poetry and Literary Nonfiction; 50 MB for Graphic, Hybrid & Experimental Literature.
No password protection, DRM, executable content, dangerous macros/scripts or special credentials for ordinary access.
