How do Ebook readers work?
Ebook readers have software, like web browsers, that display the books and then allow readers to page through them, change the size of type and color of the reading background, and to manage libraries of ebooks on their reading devices.

Ebook Software
In order to read books on your device, you must have ereader software. If you have specialized readers, like the Kindle or Nook, they already have the software installed. iPads already have software called iBooks installed. iPod Touches and iPhones may have iBooks installed. If not, it is available as a free download from the Apple App Store. Many ebook readers are available for Android devices. I recommend FB Reader. For Desktop and laptop computers, Calibre is good ebook reader software, and is available for all operating systems.
