Administrator Updated on March 31, 2023 What are EPUB Files?
Epub files are electronic books, or e-books, that use a particular type of coding to narrate details of the book. Epub is short for Electronic Publication and differentiates such computerized books from other kinds of text documents and image files. An epub file can be opened using a computer program, as with any other file format. Still, opening an epub file with a smartphone or tablet is also possible if the proper program is installed onto that device.
How to read EPUB files on windows 11
Unlike Windows XP, 7, and 8, EPUB files cannot be read directly on Windows 11. You can use ms word for this purpose. But again, if you are reading a digital book on MSword, you will not get the proper feel of reading electronic books because MS word converts the whole book into one page.
So, to read EPUB files on windows 11, you have to install an additional app or software. Fortunately, you can find a lot of EPUB readers for windows 10/11.
Where to find EPUB readers?
Suppose you want to download an EPUB reader from chrome. Go to chrome and download Calibre. You can download calibre for Windows and macOS, Android, and IOS.
Another option for you is to go to the Microsoft store. In the search box, write epub, and you will see a lot of Epub reader apps available here. Search for the best rated epub reader app and download it. Some are free to use, while most of them need in-app purchases or have advertisements which really bother you when you are reading something interesting.
Select good apps like Freda if you want to have a great experience without paying money. If you are using these apps freely, you can just read e-books like EPUB files. However, in premium versions, apart from reading e-books, you can perform other activities in the apps.
Final words
While downloading the reader from the Microsoft store, check if the reader you are downloading works on Windows 11 or not. Always choose the right EPUB file reader if you want to have the best experience.
