Question Reading epubs from the library on a kindle
I read a lot of library books on my kindle. However, once in a while a book is only available in ePub format. Is there a way to read it on the kindle? Do I need to mess with removing DRM?

I don't like reading a book on an iPad.

Thanks
Eram

Kindles will not read epubs. I wouldn't even contemplate trying to remove DRM on library books, if it's even possible.

Moderator. I was trying to be polite and not state my true feelings which agree with you. Apologies if it appeared I was condoning the OP. I was not.

It was a general notice directed toward the OP and any comers. Your motivation was clear and there's no need for apologies.

Just as a gentle suggestion, however, sometimes using the report button can be more useful than engaging in a topic that could head south quickly.

Thank you. I wasn't aware of the report a post option until today and I have just now made myself aware of its location.

If you buy a Kindle Fire you can read epubs on it. I recommend the 6" reader due to the quality of font rendering. It truly is a joy to read on. You can install the Overdrive app on it. Mantano and Aldiko also allow library epub books to be read. If you must have eInk I hear the newest Kobo readers are nice.
