What is a .EA file?
The ".EA" file extension stands for a Kindle End Actions File. This type of file is used with Amazon Kindle, which is a device made for reading electronic books, or ebooks. When you finish reading a book on a Kindle, you might see pages that show you other books by the same author or books that other readers have bought. The information for these pages is stored in a .EA file.
This file is written in a format called XML, which is a way to store and transport data in a structured text format. Because it's in a text format, you can open and read .EA files with simple text editing programs. If you're using a Windows computer, you can use Microsoft Notepad, which comes with the operating system, to open these files. If you're on a Mac, you can use Apple TextEdit, which also comes with the operating system. Both of these programs let you view and edit text files. You can also use any other text editor you like to open .EA files.
Sometimes, you might see a .EA file with an extra "L" at the end, making it an .EAL file. It's essentially the same kind of file, just with a slightly different name.
The information in the .EA or .EAL file helps Kindle show you recommendations like "More by this author" and "Customers who bought this book also bought" after you finish reading a book. This can help you find your next read based on what you've enjoyed before or what other readers with similar tastes have liked.
