If you use Windows 10, Microsoft Edge can display EPUB files natively. If Edge isn’t already set up as the default program to handle EPUB files, right-click on the file, point to the “Open With” menu, and then click the “Microsoft Edge” option. If you’re trying to open one on your desktop, you’ll probably want a third-party application. IPhone and Android devices come preloaded with their own applications to open eBooks-iBooks and Google Play. RELATED: How To Organize Your Ebook Collection with Calibre You cannot read an EPUB file directly on a Kindle, but there are ways to convert one to something the Kindle can use. These are not sold by Amazon, but you can find them in online stores. If you dislike Amazon devices and software, a better option is to buy books in the epub format.

These more versatile devices generally run Android, meaning that they can access Kindle libraries via Amazon’s app on top of easily loading up DRM-free files. Meanwhile competitors like Onyx, Xiaomi, and Pocketbook have been offering tons of new tech and form factors. Kindle models have iterated in teeny-tiny increments for years, only gaining USB-C charging support on the latest models. This is entirely speculative on my part, but it seems to me that the widening market of ebook readers is making Amazon sweat a little. However, you dont actually need a Kindle device to read Kindle books The Kindle app for iOS and Android allows you to read these e-books on the devices you already own. Amazon announced support for ePub files in the Send To Kindle and Kindle Documents Service earlier this year. Using a bit of free software, you can take ebooks in the EPUB, Mobi, and PDF formats and zap them over to your Kindle. An analogy might be the Sony-branded MP3 players from the early 2000s which didn’t actually play MP3s, instead insisting users convert all their music to the proprietary ATRAC format. Kindle refusing to allow easy use of the most common open digital book standard was a glaring downside to Amazon’s mostly-closed system.
