Adobe® Digital Editions is a free application used to read EPUB eBooks.
Additionally, Adobe Digital Editions support eBooks in the PDF format, but results
have been known to vary occasionally based on a number of factors including the
complexity of the book (novels tend to render beautifully while complex text books
with graphs and charts may render oddly) and the quality of construction of the
actual PDF file.
