Can Ignatius Press e-books be viewed on Android?

A reader asks, "Any chance Ignatius e-books might be available on Android soon?"

John Herreid, who works in the Ignatius Press marketing departments, answers:

Per our e-book download page, these should all work for Android:

ePub is now a standard e-book file format that is supported by almost* every e-book reading device including iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Kobo, Sony Reader, BeBook, IREX Reader, and the Nook from Barnes & Noble's. ePub is basically a .zip file that contains a collection of text files and images. Please note: in order to read epub files on your Nook or Sony Reader, you will need to change the .zip extension to .epub. Do not attempt to extract the file, simply change the extension.

Other than hardware devices, you can also read .epub books on your desktop or mobile phone using free e-reader software like Stanza, Mobipocket, FBReader (for Linux), Aldiko (for Android) or Adobe Digital Editions.
