We download EPUB online but when we open it, we find there are several spelling or formatting errors. Or the cover, publisher, author and other metadata are incorrect. This may make us very uncomfortable when reading, but how can we solve the problem? Editing EPUB file is surely the best way. But the EPUB file cannot be edited directly, how can we achieve this?

But as for those who are not so familiar with this tool, it will be difficult to operate. So here I want to share you an easier way–Edit EPUB with Microsoft word.

Firstly, make your EPUB editable

It’s not hard for us to know that DRM protected EPUB files are not allowed to be edited. So before we start to edit EPUB, we’d better make sure our EPUB file is DRM free. Therefore we need an eBook DRM removal to help us, here I want to share a professional software Epubor Ultimate with you. With this tool, we can remove DRM from EPUB files with ease, no matter they are Adobe DRMed, Nook DRMed or Kobo DRMed. Compared with other DRM removal tools, it’s easier and friendly to use. Most of its operations are automatic, I guess almost everyone knows how to use it for the first time. You can download it for free trial!
