eBook Formats Explained

• EPUB - The EPUB format is supported by most non-Amazon devices including the Nook and the iPad (using iBooks). If you have an Android device, you can install an app that will let you view EPUB files. It is also possible to view EPUB files on a PC by downloading an appropriate application.

• MOBI - The MOBI format is supported on all Amazon Kindle devices.

• PDF - The PDF format can be viewed on almost any device without needing to install additional software. However, it lacks some of the features other formats provide, including the ability to adjust font size and typeface. This format has the lowest system requirements, making it ideal for devices with significant memory constraints such as the original iPad.
