![]() I'm not exaggerating when I say that Netscape Navigator did a better job of rendering HTML for reading than any desktop ePub reader does with ePub. Go to Settings, tap your name, tap iCloud, then turn on both iCloud Drive and Books. If you don't see a book in your library If you don't see a book in your library: Turn on iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Or on your Mac, click View > View As from the menu bar, then click List View. Readium: Would be the best of the bunch except it's a Chrome App, which are deprecated and support might completely vanish forever at any given Chrome update. On your iPhone or iPad, tap the List View button. This is particularly handy, because you can keep on a USB. Doesn't seem to actually display pictures properly / at all. Calibre is a free, open source ebook reader that’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux, with an extra portable version for Windows PCs. On the other hand, it has an absolutely horrible interface - no drag-and-drop, whole thing feels like an Android app from ten years ago (probably because it is, lol), right down to the built-in file browser alphabetizing uppercase names before lowercase names ("Z" comes before "a"). Aldiko is a quite popular eBook reader application for the Android operating system. ![]() ![]() Honestly reminds me of the bad old days of Win 3.11 shareware.Ĭool Reader: Probably the best of the bunch, but that's not saying much.

Is there a decent reader that I'm just not finding in my Googling? Honestly at my wits' end trying to find an ePUB reader that doesn't make reading unenjoyable. ![]()
