You might run across an ePub book. How do you read it?

[NOTE: We haven’t had a chance to test out these on our machines, so your mileage may vary. Please let me know what works or doesn’t work! Send an email to trule@ etc etc]

iPads / Kindle

Both of these should automatically open up the file – the iPad in iBooks, the Kindle in an ePub reader. Please let tech know if they don’t.

Windows machines

• First, try just doubleclicking the file after downloading it. You might already have a reader installed.
• Use the Firefox web browser, and install the addon at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/epubreader/
• http://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/top-4-free-epub-reader-software/ has a list of some possibilities. Try one – if it doesn’t work, uninstall it and try another.
