The Gospel Library for ePub is growing. The ePub format will work on Apple's iPad, the Sony Reader, and the Barnes and Noble Nook devices.

== Downloads ==
'''Right click on these files and save to your computer as an 'epub' file.''' (Example: HolyBible.epub or BookOfMormon.epub). Some browsers may want to rename these files as ZIP files. If your browser saves these files with a zip extension, simply change it to an epub extension. Epub files are basically zip files but they SHOULD NOT be unzipped.

=== ePub Downloads ===
Devices that support the epub format include the iPad iBook application, Barnes & Noble Nook, and Sony eReader.

# Once your device is recognized in iTunes, click on your iPad device under the “Devices” section of iTunes.
