Before I purchase a MAC OS (with no windows OS) I would like to know Can a Mac open an HTML files on any browser just like in windows? Example: an ebook that is downloaded toyour computer and is in html format that you need to open with any browser withouthaving to connect to the internet. Please let me know!

Yes. Opening an HTML file just requires some software capable of reading it. Any web browser can do this, as well as many other programs such as MS Office. It isn't a function of the Operating System.

All I did was double click on a HTML file and it opened up just fine in the Safari browser on MacOS so I would say 100% sure.

The only problem you would have are videos. You have to download the apps for macs. Other than that, it's the same.

Okay thanks for all the information that clears everything. Anyway, I also forgot to ask Is the Mac OS also able to open zipped file (that was zipped with winzip or winrar) thatswas zipped in a windows OS and with winzip or winrar?
