What e-book reader software is compatible with a Windows 8 tablet?
I wish I had known about this forum before I bought my tablet.
I have a large collection of ebooks and digital comics in various formats including pdf, epub, lit, chm, djvu, cbr, cbz as well as some Amazon azw files on my desktop PC version of Kindle.
I had been able to read them with various reader software on my Windows XP desktop and Windows 7 laptop.
But I wanted a tablet that would be easier to take and read anywhere.
So I thought the easiest thing to ensure that I could still read everything was to get a tablet that rand Windows. So I got a tablet that runs Windows 8.
Fortunately, the Asus tablet I bought seems to have a version of Kindle pre-installed as well as something called MyReader, but I don't know what formats that accepts or how to get ebooks in it. Can anyone provide that info for MyReader?
Unfortunately, the newest versions of Calibre, ComicRack, Adobe Digital Editions, and Adobe Reader won't work on this tablet. I thought Microsoft Reader would surely work on Windows 8, but their web page doesn't even exist any more, so maybe it's been abandoned.
I found MagicScroll online that will allow me to upload a limited number of epubs, so I can read epubs on there from the tablet.
But I haven't found substitutes for reading PDFs or digital comics yet. I may have to use Calibre to translate them to epubs on my laptop, then gradually upload them to MagicScroll, deleting them as I finish reading them so I won'd go over the limit.
Does anyone know of any ebook reader software that will work for the formats I have on a Windows 8 tablet?
