Last updated Febuary 17, 2024

Here are some general instructions on how to read an eBook (ePUB) on various operating systems and devices. These instructions should cover most of the popular operating systems and devices.

Mac

On a Mac, you can use software like Apple Books, Calibre, or Adobe Digital Editions to read ePUB files.

If you have Apple Books installed, simply double-click the ePUB file, and it should open automatically in the app.

If you're using other software like Calibre or Adobe Digital Editions, open the program and use the "Open" option to select your ePUB file.

iOS Devices (iPhone/iPad)

If you have an iPhone or iPad, you can use the Books app to read ePUB files.

Simply download the ePUB file on your device, and then open it with the Books app. You can do this by tapping on the file in your email or using the "Open in" feature from another app.

Alternatively, you can use third-party apps like Marvin, KyBook, or Bluefire Reader, which also support ePUB files.

Windows PC or Laptop

You can use software like Adobe Digital Editions, Calibre, or FBReader to open and read ePUB files on your Windows computer.

Once you've installed one of these programs, simply open the software and use the "Open" option to select your downloaded ePUB file.

Android Devices (Smartphones/Tablets)

On Android devices, you can use various eReader apps like Google Play Books, Aldiko, or FBReader to read ePUB files.

Download the ePUB file onto your device, then open it with your preferred eReader app. You can do this by tapping on the file in your email or using the "Open with" option from your file manager.

Kindle eReader

While Kindle eReaders primarily support Amazon's proprietary eBook format (AZW), newer models also support ePUB files.

To read an ePUB on a Kindle, you can convert the file to the MOBI format using Calibre or other conversion tools and then transfer it to your Kindle device via USB.

Kindle Fire Tablet (Fire OS)

Kindle Fire tablets support ePUB files through various eReader apps available on the Amazon Appstore, such as Aldiko, Moon+ Reader, or FBReader.
