Only an eBook reader can open an .epub file

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The speaker explains that an EPUB file link triggers a download instead of opening in the browser because browsers cannot render EPUB files. They demonstrate this by showing the browser downloading the file rather than displaying it. The app also cannot open the EPUB and shows an error message stating the file is invalid. The speaker clarifies that users need an eBook reader to open EPUB files after downloading, as browsers only download these files but do not support direct viewing or rendering of EPUB content.
