If you’re a book- and technology lover, you’re likely always on the lookout for a new better way to read something on your devices. Well, your quest for the best epub reader is over! This list focuses on the best apps and the types of epub reader Windows can run best. There are many to choose from, depending on your personality and preferences. Best of all… These apps are all free!
Kobo
Kobo is more akin to Kindle than it is to most reader apps. It allows you to search through their library and buy books. This makes it great for those who are looking for a Persepolis summary, for example, unsure of whether or not they would like it. If you’re searching for a free book, the Kobo library offers them as well as other affordable books. This app allows you to search, bookmark, and track your progress while reading.
Calibre
This is the oldest, best-known, and the most commonly chosen reading app for a Windows computer. And, with the services it offers, there’s little doubt as to why. With this powerful tool, you can manage your metadata, ensure that your book covers are downloaded, save your favorite epubs, and even transfer the books from one device to another. This is the app most likely to fit everyone.
Cover
Are you a comic lover? Or do you simply prefer books that are heavy on the images? Graphic novels, after all, are gaining popularity, and comics themselves aren’t just for children anymore. Many traditional reader apps don’t work well with books that feature a lot of artwork. That isn’t true with Cover. So, if your library is mostly made up of Marvel or DC titles, or even some indie choices, this is the app that you’ll get the most use out of.
Bibliovore
Are you very picky about how your library is organized? Is everything done by the Dewey Decimal System with a nice picture of the cover and a summary included? Do you put your local librarian to shame? Then Bibliovore is for you! The best thing about this app is the level of organization it allows. It can even sync all of your books by using OneDrive, a feature that many apps don’t have.
Bookviser
There’s nothing like reading an actual, physical book. However, some of that is brought back into reading with Bookviser. This is the app for people who like a physical book. It’s designed to more closely resemble a real book down to the off-white pages and page-turning mechanics. You’ll forget you’re on your computer!
Nook
If you’re passionate about reading, then you know about Barnes and Noble. Now you can bring some of the bookshop home by downloading their reader app, Nook. This is likely the best-known app on this entire list. Like with the reader mentioned above, Kobo, you can also buy books through it. And, since you’re doing it through a well-known and trusted app, put out by a famous company, you can usually find better items to choose from.
Icecream Epub Reader
Looking for a feature-heavy reading app, so that you can customize your experience and get the most out of it? Then the Icecream Epub Reader is for you! Not only does it have easy page-turning mechanics, but the features you can use are simple to alter. You can change to the full-screen mode from day- to night-mode. And it even supports different languages. This is also a great choice if you want more than just epub formats.
Freda
Even if that isn’t quite what you want, Freda can give you the aesthetic that you want in a reading app through the many themes that it offers. Besides just its beauty, it’s also a great choice because of its functions. It even gives you access to 50,000 or more books that are in the public domain absolutely free of charge.
When it comes to picking up a reading app, it can be difficult. After all, there are so many to select from! But now, with this list, you can choose, which is right for you and your needs. So start downloading, set up your library, and get to reading!
