Read your favorite books on your computer with these 4 free ePub viewers
Those who have already been interested in digital books will know the ePub format , the format in which these books are distributed and which is compatible with most readers on the market. Although the ePub format is standard for this type of book, it is usually quite complicated to open on a computer, for this we will have to use specific software that allows us to open, process and facilitate their reading. books.
There are many applications that allow us to reproduce e-books, even that allow us to convert these e-books from one format to another to find the one that best suits our computer, e-book or device in which we are going to read. .
