What is an OTT file?

An OTT (OpenDocument Text Template) file is a standardized document template defined by the OASIS Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF) specification (ISO/IEC 26300). Based on XML syntax and encapsulated within a ZIP-compressed container, the format stores styling definitions, page layouts, and manifest files separate from content, allowing users to generate multiple .ODT files with consistent formatting. It supports lossless compression and interoperability across open-source office suites.

How to open an OTT file

Native support is built into ODF-compliant word processors such as LibreOffice Writer and Apache OpenOffice. Microsoft Word opens OTT files via integrated ODF conversion filters. Because the file functions as a template, opening it typically instantiates a new, untitled document (.odt) rather than editing the template file itself, unless specifically opened for editing via the application's file menu.

What is an LRF file?

The LRF (Broad Band eBook) format is a deprecated proprietary eBook format developed by Sony for its PRS-500 and PRS-505 e-reader series. It is a binary format that utilizes a specific XML-based markup internally for layout rendering, supporting hard-coded pagination, vector images, and zlib compression. Unlike reflowable formats, LRF defines static page layouts, which can lead to scaling issues on displays with resolutions differing from the original Sony hardware specifications.

How to open an LRF file

Sony has abandoned LRF in favor of the EPUB standard, meaning modern devices do not support it natively. The most reliable method for opening LRF files on desktop systems is using Calibre or the Summoner application. For viewing on modern e-readers or tablets, conversion to EPUB or PDF via Calibre is the standard technical workflow.
