InDesign creates a single .epub file containing the XHTML-based content. To view the file, you need an EPUB reader. You can also use the Adobe Digital Editions reader, that you can download free from the Adobe website.
This article explains how to easily find and download ePub formatted eBooks to your iOS device (iPad, iPhone or iPod touch) for reading in iBooks app (without iTunes) because you can directly open ePub files in iBooks. This means that you may download ePub format files/books from websites or email/text messages without having to transfer them to your device via iTunes. Here is how:

My mother has an iPad Mini 1, iOS 9.0.2. She used to be able to download books from some websites by tapping a link on the page for the .epub and it would show that "Open in iBooks..." screen. Now when she taps the link nothing happens, the loading bar goes across then the page stays the same. I can replicate it on her iPad, but mine (Air 2, 9.0.2) has no issue downloading her books. I tried to download onto mine and email to her but that didn't seem to work. Copying and pasting the direct download link into the address bar did nothing. Is this an issue with iOS or should I contact the website? Thanks.
I was having the same problem. One suggestion was to reset all settings. That worked for others, but it did not for me. Then I read a suggestion to clear my history, and it worked! You just go to settings> safari> clear history and website data. I don't know if it was doing both that worked or if it was just clearing my history. You might try just clearing history first and if that doesn't work, "reset all settings" then "clear history". Now I can download all epubs normally. Hope this works for you!

"I left iBooks behind and this has been my go-to reading app. It doesn't do some of the annoying things that the iBooks app does and it's pretty straight forward. Out of the many reading apps I've downloaded over the years, this is one of my favorites."

We're working on adding other formats such as Mobi so that you can download books to a wider rangeof readers, including Kindle devices, but EPub was the most straight forward to implement as it's anopen standard based on web technologies. Mobi (and Amazon's Kindle formats) are lessstraightforward. You can always convert the EPub files yourself in something like the excellentCalibre application. 2ff7e9595c
