How to open an ePub on a windos phone?

Arkadian · 10-06-2014, 05:16 PM

I don't have a window phone, but on behalf of someone else: if I click on a link that downloads an ePub onto my phone, how should I go about opening it on a reader? Seemingly the file disappears, but I am sure it is stored somewhere...
I am told that neither total Explorer, nor BookViser (sp?) can see it. Perhaps one has to click somewhere...

Thanks

is it windows phone 8.1?

No idea... does it matter? Perhaps yes, but I hope not. Any advice is welcome

First, yes, it does matter. A lot.
Second, why do you hope not? I prefer 8.1 over 7.8 any day myself...

No idea why I said "I hope not". I must have been distracted

Hi there,

thanks for that.

is there anyway to test it using my MAC to make sure the book opens fine?

FBReader installs on pretty much anything, and for any computer you can use http://calibre-ebook.com
