About this app

Upgrade to the Premium Edition of the popular ebook reader.

Features available in this premium version:
* Reading aloud (via Android text-to-speech)
* Google Translate and DeepL integration
* Built-in support for PDF and comic book formats

FBReader opens DRM-free ebooks and ebooks protected with Readium LCP.

The primary ebook formats supported in FBReader are ePub (including the main features of ePub3), PDF, Kindle azw3 (mobipocket), and fb2(.zip). Other supported formats include comic books (CBZ/CBR), RTF, doc (MS Word), HTML, and plain text.

To assist reading in a foreign language, use FBReader's dictionary integration to look up words or phrases. You can choose from a wide selection of external dictionaries.

In FBReader Premium, you can translate sentences directly in the app using the integrated Google or DeepL translator.

FBReader supports sync of your library and reading positions with the FBReader book network (https://books.fbreader.org/), a Google Drive™ based cloud service. The synchronization is off by default; to enable and configure it, use the preferences dialogue.

FBReader is fast and highly customizable. It can use external TrueType/OpenType fonts and custom backgrounds, adjust the screen brightness while reading (slide your finger up/down along the left screen edge), and select different day/night color schemes.

This reader also includes a browser/downloader to access network ebook catalogs and stores. Custom OPDS catalogs are supported, too.

Alternatively, you can download books manually and save them on your device in the folder Books.

In addition, the reader is localized for 34 languages and includes hyphenation patterns for 24 languages.

Ratings and reviews

The app's good, but only when you can actually use it. I bought it a few years back and enjoyed it, but after I got myself a new phone I just can't download the app! There isn't even an error popping up saying what's wrong... I tap download, it looks like it starts doing its thing but in just half a second it gets back to square one, prompting me to install the app. Please do something about it.

After the last update, the font has changed, and giant margins appeared on the right. The settings haven't changed on their own. Reducing the right margins to 0 makes it slightly better but doesn't fully solve the problem. Changing the font doesn't affect the application.

I hate that I had to buy this. They disabled the TTS+ Pluggin in the free version of FBR and lied, saying that since it was old the pluggin was "losing features" and wouldn't let me use it. I paid my money and the pluggin works fine again. And it has more features than the reader they've built into FBR. The only reason I'm not refunding this scam is because it's the cheapest ereader with TTS functionality.
