I have to share this information with all current and prospective owners of eBook Readers. I was just tracking down an article about Wattpad announcing its adoption of the EPUB format when I came across this chart from Adobe. The listed devices support the cross-platform open format and PDF. (I know PDF is not an eBook format… god people get testy about that, yah?)
We’ve got, what 16 Readers from 10 different companies. I guess the writing’s on the wall for proprietary format proponents. (This means you Kindle!)
Complete adoption of the format will streamline the process for publishers and Indie authors. If you haven’t checked out an EPUB formatted eBook, dig around the Adobe site and download one of their free examples. (You’ll have to install Digital Editions, but it’s a good looking program and easy to use.) I think you’ll see why EPUB is all the rage.
