How does it work? How do I get started? What do I have to download?
A great feature of Ibis Reader is that there is nothing to download! Here’s how it works:
Get started with Ibis Reader by finding an interesting book in Get Books.
Click on one of the book sources to see the titles available, then click on
the cover of a book to see more information. Once you’ve found an
interesting book, click Read This Book
to add it to your library and
start reading.
Because your ebooks are stored in the cloud, you can read them from any web browser and many mobile phones, anywhere in the world. When used with an iPhone and Android 2 phone, you can even read when you aren’t connected to the internet.
What is ePub?
ePub is the open ebook standard developed by the International Digital Publishing Forum (IDPF). It is based on a number of other open standards including XHTML and CSS, just like the web. This means that your web browser is well equipped to display ePub books.
Can I use Ibis Reader on my mobile device?
Absolutely! The web version of Ibis Reader has been optimized for both full-size computers and mobile devices. Readers with iPhones or Android phones can read ebooks even when not connected to the internet.
I’m a publisher and I have questions or feature requests
