XIII. READING EPUBS
Many eReader files are in the ePUB file format.
The Cruz does not natively support this file format,
so an additional application available on the Cruz
Market must first be downloaded.

publications. In order to read DRM-protected
ePUBs, you will need to download a specialized
application that manages the DRM requirements.
For instructions on how to read a DRM-protected
ePUB on your Cruz, visit the Cruz Support Hub at
www.cruzreader.com/support
Step 1 Install Word Player from the Cruz Market (Apps > Books &
Reference > Word Player) onto your Cruz.
