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.

Ratings and reviews

This newest upgrade has froze my fbreader. It freezes my new samsung galaxy 25 ultra. Keeps freezing screen and phone then saying fbreader is not working x to close app. It won't load books, nothing. Been 2 days and I cannot access any book. This was my go to, I read everyday on fbreader premium. I paid for upgrade. I used it for years, like 10. Now I have to find another epub reader because they screwed it up with a single upgrade. Good job.

Echoing others that the recent update has completely destroyed the app. All my default display settings were deleted and I was forced to remake my library, manually looking up where all my books and files were. Now I can't open the app or load anything at all, even after reinstalling. have been a premium customer for years and this is very disappointing.

Good app, but when it updated, the version on my phone won't access any of the folders on my SD card. It shows little locks on the folders. Other apps will access the card. I don't have space on my phone for the books. On my old Kindle, the Titles page always crashes when it didn't before and I have to wait a while for a book to load before I can turn a page, which didn't happen before. I preferred the previous version. When it works, it's brilliant to share my library between devices.
