1. How to Read EPUB on Mac
Posted by Ada Wang on 5/13/2014 11:16:41 PM.
If you like to read books on Mac computer, this article about how to read epub on mac
may attract your attention, for epub is one of the common ebook format, widely used
on lots of ebook stores, such as Kobo, Nook, Sony, etc.
Here I will solve this problem in detail, so believe me to follow this guide if you desire a
better understanding.
-If your epub are purchased or downloaded from one place, refer to part 1.
-If you got countless epub books from different stores, and you want to read those
epub files on mac, or even you want to read epub on iPad, iPhone, Kindle, android, etc,
go straight to part 2 please.
Part 1: Best free EPUB Reader on Mac

2. We can't deny the fact that there are a lot of free epub readers for the Mac, and this is
the simplest way that most ebook lovers applied.
To begin with, I just want to say I strongly recommend you use these 3 free apps to read
epub files on mac. I sort them not only by stores, but also by the kinds of DRM.
1. iBooks for Mac--read ibooks epub on mac
Since Apple added iBooks into iTunes April 2010, this news was a breath of fresh air for
we Mac lovers. In my opinion iBooks is the best reading app on Mac, iPad, iPhone. In
iTunes iBooks, we can purchase books, and download them to mac, read on mac
computer.

3. If your books were bought from Apple iBooks store, no matter DRMed or DRM free,
congratulations you can use iBooks directly to open and read them.
Bad point: only supports epub from iBooks.
2. Adobe Digital Editions--read adobe epub on mac
Offered by Adobe, free download available. Only supports those epub files purchased
from stores connected with Adobe, such as Kobo, Sony, online ebookstores, and so on.
ADE even supports DRM'ed ebooks with Adobe DRM, the most common EPUB DRM
outside of iBooks and Nook. In other words, we can also read drm epub on mac with
ADE. If our epub books are protected with DRM, we can open them with ADE. If still not,
it says that they are limited with Nook or iBooks drm.
Bad point: must use the same Adobe ID to sync.

4. Price: Free downlaod from Adobe.
3. Nook for Mac--read nook epub on mac
This app is only used for epub books purchased from Barnes&Noble store. Some nook
epub are protected with Adobe drm, while another books are with Nook drm, so if you
just read epub from nook, this app is your best choice.
Bad point: only supports nook epub files.
Tips: there are another good apps that you may have a try on your mac, such as
"Calibre", "Kitabu", etc.
Part 2: Make epub books DRM free
From part 1 you may have found that all those apps have their own weak point. So if we
have purchased a lot of epub files from different stores, including nook, ibooks, kobo,
should we install multiple apps on our mac?

5. What's worse, for those DRMed epub files, we can only read them on related app,
couldn't change, and even can't transfer them to another devices, or share them with
our family. In short, it isn't able to open all epub ebooks just with one app.
So here I give my method 2 for you to read epub on mac by removing drm from
epub.
 We can get rid of the control from ebook stores.
 We can transfer our purchased epub files to other devices, and share them with
our friends.
 After DRM removed, we can have more choices, we can choose the app as we
like, but not the limited one.
 It's possible to read epub on iPad, iPhone, Kindle, android, and so on.
 And more...
Here I recommend one tool named Epubor DRM Removal for you, for it can not only
remove Adobe epub drm, but also nook epub drm.
1Install the DRM Removal tool
Windows Version Download Mac Version Download
2Add books to drm removal
Get the tool started, then drag your listed books below "ADE" or "Nook" from the right
to the left. After epub books added, the DRM will be removed fast. As the image shows,
you will see a check mark icon.

6. Tips: for removing Adobe epub drm, you should make sure you can read your books on
Adobe Digital Editions.
 How to read sony kobo books on ADE.
3Choose a program to open epub
As all our books have become drm free, so we can open them with any app we like. All
apps written in Part 1 still function in this part after books drm stripped.
But here I still like iBooks the best. Mac is Apple's product, the same as iBooks app. So
there is not any better reading app than iBooks on Mac, I think. Why not have a try at
opening epub files on mac with iBooks?

7. Conclusion:
Whether you books has drm or not, if you think drm checking job is messy, or you don't
want to change many apps to read different stores' epub files, solution in part 2 is your
best choice.
-If your books are purchased from iBooks store, open with iBooks without limitation;
-If your books are purchased from another stores such as kobo, google play books,
sony, and so on, make them drm free and then open with iBooks.
Download the tool for free:
