There’s a way to install extensions from the Chrome Web Store in Microsoft Edge. The new Microsoft Edge is based on Google Chrome, so you could also install EPUBReader in Edge.

You can open EPUB files from your computer in your browser, too, just like you can use your browser as your PDF reader. Install EPUBReader from the Chrome Web Store, and EPUB files will open like PDFs directly in your browser when you click them on the web.

If you prefer reading EPUB files in your browser, you might want to try a browser extension. Sumatra can even be used in “portable” mode, so you can place it on a USB drive or in a cloud storage folder and run it on computers without installing it first. Sumatra PDF works with EPUB and MOBI eBooks as well as PDFs, XPS files, and even comic books in CBZ and CBR formats. It’s a small, lightweight reading application. Calibre is a great application, but it has a lot of features, and you might want something a bit simpler. You’ll also find an eBook collection manager, editing features, and more. It includes an eBook reader support for EPUB files and other popular eBook formats. Here are some we like:Ĭalibre is a powerful, free, open-source eBook management application. Want a solid EPUB viewer for Windows? There are quite a few options out there. Of course, most of the great Windows applications out there aren’t available for download on Windows 10’s built-in Store. Microsoft recommends downloading an EPUB app from the Microsoft Store.

After installing the new Edge, you won’t be able to open EPUB files on Windows 10 until you install an application that supports them. Now that Microsoft has given up on selling eBooks, the company clearly sees no point in implementing support for EPUB files in the new Chromium-based Microsoft Edge browser.
