XII. Reading 3rd Party eBooks

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

Keep in mind that many ePUB files are also DRM- protected (Digital Rights Management), preventing illegal distribution of 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 www.cruztablet.com or call one of our

support technicians at 1-800-296-4312
