Bound Book Format (BBF) is a high-performance binary container format designed specifically for comics, manga, artbooks, and other sequential image collections. The format enables efficient storage and retrieval of page-based media with features like paginated retrieval, asset deduplication, fast indexed access to page order and metadata, and MKV-like sectioning.
