convert epub to pdf

If the eBooks you collected are in ePub format but the eReader you are using doesn't support ePub, then you may have to convert the ePub eBooks to PDF, a more common format compatible with more eBook reading devices. As you can see, although ePub is one of the most popular eBook formats in the world, it's not so widely used as PDF which is supported by almost all eBook reading devices.

Besides, PDF is an ideal file format for sharing the eBooks with family members and friends.
