Reading Epub file on Mac

Is it possible to read an epub file on a Mac that has the kindle app installed, or some other way? Seems like it can only be synched to a mobile device after putting it Itunes, sure makes me wonder why you wouldn't be able to, but that's why I'm here, us old guys need alot of help learning this stuff, thanks.

Yes, just use google and other standard reference sources to get a list, e.g.

  • Why can't I read EPub files on my Kobo Touch?

    I have been successfully downloading and reading EPub files on my Kobo Touch for months now. However, after the recent upgrade to the Touch I have been having some challenges. I follow the same procedure as always to download library books to ADE and then drag and drop the file to the KoboeReader icon in the ADE screen. ADE says the file has transfered and the book shows in the Kobo library in ADE. When I disconnect my eReader and turn it on the books do not appear on the Touch. Any suggestions?
    Note: I did try de-authorizing and re-authorizing my Touch and it didn't correct the problem.

    Sorry. I think you misread me. I know you said the software upgrade messed me up and I agree. It was Kobo Support who said the ebook/library book that caused the problem. When I called Kobo Support to see if they had a fix they told me it was my library's problem. I kept going back to the software upgrade and all the trouble shooting I had done - including the paperclip in the back - but the tech just kept getting me to do the same things over and over. You were spot on that they would try to place the blame on something other than their upgrade but they didn't blame ADE. The tech didn't have any new suggestions . I eventually gave up on her and took the device back to its like new settings, unintalled and reinstalled all the software on both my device and pc. It is working now but unfortunately I lost a couple of books.  Thanks for your input.

  • Where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file.  mac osx reader XI

    where is button to accept end user agreement so I can download or read online file.  mac osx reader XI
    every time i click  on a file to downloac
    i get a reader message Before viewing PDF ... you must launch adobe reader and then accept the End User License Agreement. Ive searched  every part of the menu for this and cant fine it

    Ok, so the Reader app works. Fine, but why did you say ",the reader won't open any more", that led us a confusing direction.
    Ok, the problem is most likely caused because you downloaded Acrobat Pro, which takes over from Reader, then got rid of it. You now have part of Acrobat in Safari, not part of Adobe Reader.
    There are two things to try to fix this. The first and easiest is to download and install Adobe Reader again. That should puts its stuff back in Safari with a bit of luck.
    Important note for others following this thread. Downloading Adobe Reader is not going to help you if you have not understood and followed the instructions to "launch" Adobe Reader (or Adobe Acrobat). Make sure you understand what "launch" means before downloading anything again.

    There is no native support to open PageMaker documents on the Mac. I would check to see what PageMaker document versions that InDesign CS6 can open, ether on Mac or PC.
    Adobe still has the trial of PageMaker 7 for Windows (Adobe link) and PM7 PDF, which you could install in Boot Camp, or Mac Virtual Machine in Windows 7.
    I just checked the latest release of LibreOffice, and there is no support for PageMaker anything.

  • Ibooks doesn't read epub files

    I have installed the latest version of ibooks on my iPad.
    First of all I wanted to try if it works properly.
    So I sent an e-book (epub format bought from a seller that is not Apple) by email. I recovered it from the mail (the icon was recognized as an epub  file) and it asked me if i wanted to open it with ibooks.
    Well, the app said that the file was corrupted or was not in a proper format to be read.
    This happened with other epub files.
    Another app read those files perfectly (asked me only the authorization to read epub files inserting the ID and PW for Adobe).
    Does it means that ibooks reads epub files bought only from Apple??
    Thank you.

    If the epub has digital-rights-management on it then you won't be able to read it in the iBooks app.

  • Reading .mobi or .epub files in MAC

    Hi, is there any free ebook reader software supporting .mobi or .epub file formats?

    There is an experimental Mac OS port of FBReader (http://fbreader.org/) available at http://gobunov.ru/projects.html.
    I haven't used it, so cannot vouch for it, but it may be worth a try.

  • Firefox won't read EPUB files

    Hi Folks,
    I had some 15 book stored on EPUB in firefox, but they just disappeared. That was over a years work. Firefox now won't allow any epub files.

    You need to open .eml files with your email program (e.g. Thunderbird). Firefox can't open such files.

  • How do i read pdf files on mac air, i have downloaded adobe reader and not working

    How do I read any files in pdf format? I have downloaded adobe reader yet have not been able to open pdf files?

    If you can't view PDF files in Safari, take these steps.
    Back up all data.
    Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it as well, if it's present.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • IBooks doesn't read my epub files

    Hi,
    I have installed the latest version of ibooks on my iPad.
    First of all I wanted to try if it works properly.
    So I sent an e-book (epub format bought from a seller that is not Apple) by e-mail from my Mac. I recovered it from the mail (the e-book icon - the same as iBooks - was recognized as an ePub file) and it asked me if i wanted to open it with ibooks.
    Well, the app said that the file was not in a proper format to be read.
    This happened with other epub files.
    Another app read those files perfectly (asked me only the authorization to read epub files inserting ID and PW for the Adobe account).
    iBooks asked me nothing about the authorization...
    Does it means that iBooks reads epub files bought only from Apple? In this case i won't be able to recover all my old e-books with this app.
    Thank you.

  • SOLVED! How to Read Your Own epub files on PlayBook (sort of)

    Hi boys, girls and epub lovers.
    I've finally discovered a rather straight-forward way to read epub files on your beloved PlayBook. Follow the steps below for reading joy:
    1 - Visit http://bookworm.oreilly.com and follow the 'Sign Up' link. Create an account
    2 - Sign in to the site and click on the big 'ADD A BOOK' link on the left hand side.
    3 - Upload one of your favourite epub books to the site.
    4 - On your PlayBook (if you're not already using it), visit http://m.bookworm.oreilly.com and sign in.
    5 - You should see your book listed. Click on it to open and start reading!
    Some nice things about it:
    1 - The site remembers the last page that you were reading the next time you sign in
    2 - If you read your book in portrait mode on the PlayBook, I discovered that just tapping the screen once will make the page scroll down
    3 - Typeface and size can be adjusted at the top of the screen.
    4 - You can literraly jump between any device with a web browser and continue to read your book
    Some problems with this method:
    1 - You need internet access
    2 - Chapter loading takes a moment because the book is stored online
    3 - Resizing of text is limited.
    If you can get over these minor problems, then it's fine. You can easily read on the move with the Bridge Browser and I've just read a couple of chapters of a book and it was a joy to read.
    Thanks O'Reilly!

  • How to keep Korean fonts when converting .pages file to .epub file

    Hi, I am also asking about embedding Korean fonts other than English when converting .pages file to .epub file.
    I really like to use application for Mac in order to make certain file format for e-books though there seems to be some problem that should be improved.
    Please answer to my question and help me to find the best way to make .epub file with Mac.
    37Fides

    You should have no problem keeping your text in Korean when you convert to .epub from .pages.  Are  you saying that the Korean is converted to something else?   Please provide more details about what is not working the way you want.
    Pages can't embed fonts, you would have to use another app.  But there is no need to embed fonts to create Korean books.
