Open EPUB on Android devices: How easy it works

The EPUB format is known to millions of eBook readers around the world. But can the format also be opened on Android devices? Our guide has the answer and explains how easy it is.

Without any preliminary work: an EPUB-enabled app is usually pre-installed on Android.

eBooks are conquering the reading world and EPUB is in one of the main roles. So it's almost logical that compatibility with the Android system is also a given.

How to open EPUB files on your Android device

Unlike Amazon's MOBI format, EPUB is not limited to specific devices. For Android devices, this means:

• EPUB files can be opened easily with Android devices. Whether smartphone or tablet, play no role.
• Only the appropriate app is important. Such a one is on many Android devices mostly even pre-installed, namely Google Play Books.
• The free app allows you to open EPUB files without further effort.

If you want to use another app, that is also possible, because there are alternatives. One example is the Aldiko Book Reader, which has also been around for years.
