It is available on the App Store as well. On the iPad and the iPhone, the Apple-provided reader application is iBooks, and it supports the viewing of both commercial and non-commercial digital publications, including those created in the free and open Electronic Publication ( EPUB) format.Ī third-party application for reading EPUB documents on Mac OS X is Bookle by Stairways Software. Since many computers and mobile media devices now support digital reader applications, the use of digital books as a means of content delivery has dramatically increased.
