Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - robkelk - 02-01-2019 I just got a digital copy of a book as a Kickstarter backer reward. It's available in two formats: EPUB and MOBI. That would mean something if I had an ebook device. Any suggestions for decent reader software for either or both formats for Win7? RE: Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - RMH999 - 02-01-2019 Calibre has a semi-decent (IMO) reader Microsoft Edge will do EPUB RE: Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - Bob Schroeck - 02-01-2019 MOBI is Kindle format, so if your smartphone has a kindle app you can read it there. Edit: Oh, and seconding the reader that comes with Calibre. It's a good, workmanlike tool. RE: Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - nocarename - 02-01-2019 When I want to read an ebook on my iPhone, I currently use BluefireReader to read ePubs. If you`re on your desktop or laptop I also use Calibre there. RE: Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - robkelk - 02-02-2019 Thanks - I'll take a look at Calibre. (Isn't Microsoft Edge based on Chromium? I have a separate beef with Google there.) RE: Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - Rajvik - 02-02-2019 I use Adobe reader which works with epub and have no complaints RE: Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - ECSNorway - 02-05-2019 There is also a desktop Kindle app. I use Caliber for desktop reading, which isn't often - more often my ipad is my preferred reading platform. RE: Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - Labster - 02-12-2019 Am I the only one here who wrote his own ebook reader? EPUB is just a zip file with some HTML in it, and an XML manifest. You can just feed that to a browser. RE: Recommendations wanted for ebbok reader software for Windows - Bob Schroeck - 02-12-2019 I only got interested in ebook formats after getting a Kindle. Which kind of predisposed me toward MOBI.
