Reading on your device
Picture books come as full-color PDFs. Novels come as EPUB files. Here is how to open each one.
iPhone and iPad
- PDF picture books: tap the file in the Files app, then the share button, then Books. It stays in Apple Books, in color.
- EPUB novels: tap the file and choose Books. Apple Books opens EPUB files directly.
Android phones and tablets
- PDF picture books: open the file from Downloads in any PDF viewer, or upload it to Google Play Books to keep it with your other books.
- EPUB novels: upload the file to Google Play Books (in the app: Library, then Upload file), or open it in the Kobo app.
E-readers
- Most e-readers open EPUB files. Connect the e-reader to your computer with its cable and copy the EPUB into its books folder, or use the e-reader's own app or send-a-file service.
- Picture-book PDFs open on many e-readers too, but black-and-white screens show the pictures in grey. A tablet shows them best.
Computers
- PDF: opens in your browser or any PDF reader.
- EPUB: opens in Apple Books on a Mac, or in a free reading app on Windows.
