I have just downloaded an ebook, which is in EPUB File. This does not open in my computer.
1. How can I open it?
2. How can I convert to the usual pdf format?
Please help.

I use iBooks to read epub files on my iPad and mac. I imagine there are many readers you can get. Here's one for Windows.. I've no idea how to go about converting one to pdf though.

I have downloaded epubreader. But, this programme is not getting installed.

Moreover, I have come to know that most ebook reading programmes do not show the exact format, like pdf does.

I have downloaded the ebook from lulu.com. Does it no longer support pdf format?

Anyone knows? Please help.

a program called calibre can do the conversion. But it's probably pretty heavy duty for just one conversion. There are probably free epub to PDF conversion utilities online. Try Google.

Excellent! - A new document format. I was thinking we were running short of file formats.

Not true. I have seen many .pdf files that look just fine in Adobe Reader appear wonky when opened in other programs.

Yes, I have tried. It also changes the format (different from the way it looks as a pdf file)

Here is something about the EPUB format from Smashwords, an online ebook distributor (kind of like SmugMug, et al, for authors) ...

Here’s a summary of the formats offered:

EPUB
- This is your most important format! EPUB is an open industry ebook format. This is the format we distribute to Apple, Barnes & Noble, Sony, Kobo, Diesel eBooks, and others. If your book is available in epub, it can be read on the most popular ebook readers and ebook reading software applications (Like Stanza on the iPhone or Aldiko on Android devices), and will gain the widest distribution via Smashwords’ distribution outlets (EPUB is a requirement for inclusion in Smashwords’ Premium Catalog, and it’s what we distribute to every retailer except Amazon).

download amazon kindle application on your mac/pc and it will be able to open epub file without any issue. You dont need to have amazon kindle subscription for this.

I have used this in the past.

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/epubreader/

Also, the android app Moon Reader will read them.

I have downloaded kindle, but it doesnot kindle my epub file!

However, I was able to upload my ebook in PDF format on lulu, and now it downloads as pdf (not as epub).
This is exactly what I wanted. I am happy.
