The Microsoft Edge browser for the iPad and iPhone can now read ebooks you have purchased from the Microsoft Bookstore. This app is considered to be in preview mode, so it lacks most of the functionality as the main desktop version, such as TTS and Cortana.
The only thing the new Edge browser does well is change the size of the font and the font type. Unfortunately, things like bookmarks, annotation, and highlights are not supported at this time. There is also no way to purchase ebooks from the Microsoft Store, they are just able to be imported into Edge with your Hotmail account.
Although the Edge browser is available for anyone to download, only readers in the United States can browse their collections and read ebooks.
