Q: reading epub file on microsoft

i created a document using pages and inserted a video. looks great. sent a copy using epub. looks great. i use a mac and file opened automatically using iBooks. can the receiver of my email open the file if he doesn't have a mac or iBooks? If they don't have a mac or iBooks, what is the best way for the receiver to access the file? Thank you

Google the terms "windows epub reader" for info on apps that should work.

traditional epub ( Text/Pictures ) will open in a variety of reading software like fbreader,calibre etc. which are available for all operating systems.
Epub3 ( interactive content ) is not so common and requires a special reader that is capable of displaying that content in the way the author had in mind . In my research to find such a reader I came across the free multiplatform reader named AZARDI that will do the job on Linux,non ibooks-cabable intel OSX ( pre 10.9.x ) and Windows. Of course it will also display older epub formats , too : http://azardi.infogridpacific.com/azardi-download.html
