FBReader is a cross-platform free utility designed for reading books in electronic format. Works in Windows, Linux, MacOS, Android, iOS, etc.
FBReader allows you to open virtual libraries, as well as to group books by all thematic sections. The main advantage of these libraries is that they make it much easier to find the necessary editions in the file directory.
The program has no menu. Its working interface is a toolbar with dedicated buttons. The setting options allow you to control text formatting and page turning. In addition, you can mark the text and set the desired value of text indentation from the edge.
In the lower part of the panel there is an indicator, usual for programs of this class, which shows to the user the system time, total number of pages, the number of the current page. Program options allow the reader to format the text and place page layout of the publication.
