eBook Formats - Other

Microsoft Word

Reader Software

Our Thoughts

Microsoft Word is a popular format. People are familiar with Microsoft Word. They've used it frequently and already have the software, so there's nothing new to download. Customers can change the font size just like any other Word document, and print the eBook. However, most publishers do not publish their eBooks in Microsoft Word format because it's not secure.

Where To Buy


Gemstar/Rocket eBook

Reader Software

  • Software is included with your eBook device.

Our Thoughts

Gemstar and Rocket eBook devices are no longer being sold. But, there are many customers that still have the devices and would like to find eBooks for them. Publishers of eBooks generally won't be publishing any new content for the devices since they've been discontinued, but you can still find eBooks at the stores below.

Where To Buy


HTML

Reader Software

  • Any web browser.

Our Thoughts

True HTML eBooks can be viewed in your browser. They can be printed.

There are also many, many eBooks in .exe format that are compiled with HTML pages. Those eBooks don't need extra software, as they are a program all on their own. But, they are not supported by any large companies, so they aren't carried by many large eBook retailers, and there is minimal support for them. Again, publishers generally do not publish their eBooks in this format because it's not secure.

Where To Buy


Text

Reader Software

  • Any text editor or word processing program.

Our Thoughts

These regular plain text files are the most simple eBooks you can read. They aren't really even "eBooks" - they're just the text of a book in .txt format. They have the same appeal as Microsoft Word, with the ability to edit the text, and to print it. And again, publishers generally do not publish their eBooks in this format because it's not secure.
