If Edge isn’t already set up as the default program to handle EPUB files, right-click on the file, point to the “Open With” menu, and then click the “Microsoft Edge” option. If you’re trying to open one on your desktop, you’ll probably want a third-party application. IPhone and Android devices come preloaded with their own applications to open eBooks-iBooks and Google Play.

The Amazon Kindle will only be able to accept DRM. You can open an EPUB file whether you’re using a Kobo, Barnes & Noble Nook, or even on your desktop using one of the many free programs, such as Calibre or Stanza Desktop. The company will also be adding EPUB support to the free Kindle app for iOS and Android devices and the Send to Kindle desktop app for PC and Mac. Because of their widespread use, more hardware eReaders support EPUB files than any other eBook file format.
