Ratings and reviews

I used this app for many years both on an Android tablet (Nexus I believe) and at least three Android phones. I stopped using it when I switched to reading primarily on an Windows laptop. I'm no longer comfortable with the permissions it requests, but I must admit the app has worked flawlessly over the years and it's given me no indication whatsoever of taking any liberties. It now has a Windows counterpart, and it works really well.

I've been using fbreader for years and eventually there was no reason not to pay for the premium. Nothing but positive thoughts on the app as a whole, so thank you, it truly is my favorite book reader on the go, has been for a long time and for various devices both phones and tablets. I do have one feature request, to be able to define alpha value for the highlight/bookmark color. I wish tables in epub format will be fixed at some point as they're not showing up correctly.

Library in app inconsistent. Only old local library can open list on the author of the current book, the new one just open list with all authors on random place. But only new lib has recently added books, and you need to switch back and forward between different implementations. OPDS works well before, but that looks like it was rewritten to support theming and now constantly freezing and crashing.

What’s new

* FBReader can open files “shared” from other applications, e.g. from “Downloads” in Chrome
* The app opens slightly “incorrect” ePubs that were not openable since the release 3.8.20
