eBook FAQ

For our regular FAQ, please see our FAQ Page

What is an eBook?

An eBook is an electronic version of a printed book that can be read on a computer, tablet, smartphone, or dedicated eBook reader.

What is an ePub file?

An ePub file format is the most popular eBook standard. Most devices support this format except some Kindle eReaders.

What eReaders can view these books?

ePub files from ZCPublishers can be viewed on virtually all devices such as desktop or laptop computers, iPad, Android Tablets, smartphones, Nook, Sony Reader, Kobo, and more. Some Kindle devices do not support ePub files.

What are some specific options for opening an eBook?

The web browser Microsoft Edge can open ePub files. On a PC, you can try downloading the program Calibre or signing in to your Google account in Google Play Books to upload your ePub file to your personal library. For Apple devices, your device should come preinstalled with iBooks, which can open ePub files. On Android devices, search your app store for “epub reader” and see which app works best for you. We have found Pocketbook Reader to work well in many cases.

Can I read these ePub books on my Kindle?

While some Kindle devices do not natively support ePub files, you can use the Send to Kindle function to add the eBook files to your Kindle. See this link for further information: Amazon Send to Kindle

What is Digital Rights Management (DRM)?

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a type of encryption software designed to protect eBooks from being copied. However, it can also make it difficult for users to transfer their books between devices. ZCPublishers does not sell eBooks with DRM.

Can eBooks be returned?

No. Because of the nature of digital products, eBooks cannot be returned.
