Note that you’ll need an epub reader installed on your device. For iPad, that’s iBooks or somesuch. On an iPhone, if iBooks isn’t available, you can use one of the many other readers that can digest epub, such as Stanza.
If you have many e-books to convert, a quicker way is to use Calibre, which is a stand-alone application available for OS X, Linux and Windows, that will let you convert books in batches. It’s also free.
