Hi guys

So there is a book I am reading on the iPad - however every now and then I would like to read it on my MacBook.

Is there a decent way to make this work?

Can I open ePub files on the Mac?

Running 10.7.4

Thanks
 
It may be overly complex for what you want to do, but give Calibre a try.

Calibre

It's free, and has a lot of functions, including conversion of most formats into any other.
 
If the ePub is copy protected, it is against the TOS of these forums to discuss removing the protection. Google doesn't have such a restriction, and is your friend here.

Calibre will work, as long as there is no protection on the book.

Shall we give our fellow members here the benefit of the doubt? Unless the question is blatantly talking about circumventing an ePub with DRM, I don't think bringing up forum rules adds anything to the discussion.

This on the other hand is a supremely useful bit of advice as I'm also a happy Calibre user!
