In the art of photography you will find many small niches of focus. The technique of using an ultra wide-angle lens for one, has been around for quite some time and can display a deep level of professionalism. Yet even amateur and professional photographers alike can utilize these unique lenses in their own work.

I’ve taken the liberty to collect a showcase of brilliant UWA photographs. The collection includes shots from cities and countries all around the world. In the past we have written on panoramic photography which offers a similar yet distinguished feeling. If you have thoughts or examples of your own wide-angle photos, feel free to share them with us in the discussion area.

ePub is an open standard format for ebooks, a format used to publish electronic books, magazines and newspapers. The difference between an ePub format file with a normal doc file is its reflowability to suit the many display dimensions of mobile devices i.e. tablets, smartphones etc. It was created to be flexible with font size and text layout, allowing you to read the same material on any mobile device that you may own.

However, it is not possible to open files with *.ePub extensions on your browsers, even though you can do that with *.pdf and *.doc (opened with Google Docs) files. To open *.ePub formatted files, you need an ebook-reader application like those available on tablets like the iPad, or e-readers like the Kindle or Nook. With more and more publishers switching to producing their ebooks in .ePub versions, you may think that the only way you can keep your reading habits up is to get yourself an e-reader or tablet. Hold that thought.

In this quick tip, we are going to share with you how you can open *.ePub files on your browser with EPUBReader on Firefox and MagicScroll on Chrome. These extensions are made as a minimalist ebook reader that will allow you to browse through ebooks directly from these two browsers.
