Epub file format support for Umbraco 4.11.10

I got a request to add Ebooks(epub) to the Umbraco media section. Does umbraco have support for epub file type ? and if it is then can anyone please help to know how can I add ebooks to media section and show them on the browser?

Uploading and serving the file is default behavior for (almost) any file in the media section.

What else do you expect from "epub" support?

Kind regards

Probably the IIS is not configure to serve this file extention. Check the web.config to verify if the mimeType is available.

I guess you should add something line this in the staticContent section:
```
<staticContent>
   ...  other stuff
   <remove fileExtension=".epub"/>
   <mimeMap fileExtension=".epub" mimeType="application/epub+zip "/>
</staticContent>
```
