Not many formats: many files. To be honest, it's not necessary for epub
to export to many separate files, but it's often done. It is easier to
deal with, if you're editing the epub afterwards. Of course, the usual
Org-mode approach is: get the file right in Org, and the exported
results should just be used as-is. But I still don't know how epubs
should be approached.
