What is ODF file?
The ODF file format is an open-standard file format used by various Office Suites, including OpenOffice and LibreOffice, for storing formula documents. ODF stands for OpenDocument Format, and is based on the XML markup language. It is mainly used to store mathematical formulas and equations, as well as other types of numerical and text data. ODF files use the .odf file extension. [ ⏩ ] ODF file extension

How to convert the file from ODF to EPUB?
To successfully convert the ODF file to EPUB, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.ODF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case EPUB (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than EPUB).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. ODF to EPUB. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting ODF files to EPUB files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension EPUB, while before this step we had the ODF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new EPUB file, or not.
