What is the difference between ebooks, epub, and kindle books?

Q. Silly question, I know. But do Kindles only support amazon kindle books? Or can you buy and download any type of ebook from other websites to a kindle?

A. Hey bunny, asking 2-nd time? Anyways, Kindle supports PDF so you can side load books however it doesn't support ePub format that is the universal format most used in the world (thus most of free ebooks out there - including in other languages - are in ePub format.) Nook devices support ePub and are also technically much better eReaders. E-Ink Nook Simple Touch from Barnes & Noble at $99 (without ads) has twice the battery life of Kindle ($139 without ads), faster page turns than Kindle, and microSD card slot to expand capacity that neither Kindle has. With Nook you can checkout eBooks from public libraries - just need to get Adobe Digital Editions (ADE) software (free from Adobe site). Also it's worth mentioning that if you walk in with any Nook to Barnes & Noble store, you'll get tech support and youâre allowed to read ANY available eBook for free while in the store via free provided in the store Wi-Fi where Nook eBook store has over 2.5 million of paid books and about the same number of free public domain books. Nook already has Cloud as your ebooks are stored in your online library as well as downloaded to your device. Nook Simple Touch actually has a hidden web browser - just press the virtual "Search" button at the bottom of your Nook's screen and key a URL into the search bar when it comes up. That's not just my opinion - Consumer Reports, CNET, PCWORLD, etc. pro reviews and recommendations stated that Nook Simple Touch is the best ereader on the market.

Original Question

Can you read Kindle books on readers other than the Kindle?
Q. Can you read kindle books on readers other than the kindle? I'm wondering because I would like to use a less expensive/more available reader to access the large kindle reader.

A. I have a Kindle and I love it. My understanding is that the Kindle library on Amazon is only accessible to Kindle users.
