Epub Readers

There are a lot of popular eBook readers on Android and iOS, but when it comes specifically to ePUB readers, there aren't many good options to choose from. To those who are still wondering, what is the difference eBook and Epub? An eBook is a generic term for any electronic reading material. ePub is a file type, like pdf or jpeg. EBooks can come in ePub, Mobi, or pdf format. 

Different eReaders are compatible with different file formats, i.e. Kindles read Mobi files, while Kobos and Nooks read ePubs.
