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'). 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. SumatraPDF: PDFLite but reskinned to look ugly as sin. No genuine smooth scroll, zoom requires opening up preferences menu and even then it barely works. PDFLite: Fair for quickly opening a document and reading a single page, obnoxious to actually read cover-to-cover in. UI in general sort of feels like the children's section at a public library, but I could probably stomach it if it actually scrolled properly. Scrolling completely fucking sucks at pagebreaks no matter if you click the 'Line scrolling stops at page breaks' option or not.

No genuine smooth-scroll, no mousewheel zoom. Just going down the list of what I've tried from memory here:Ĭalibre: People say it's great for library management, which I won't dispute, but it sucks to read on. So basically a web browser UI, but for ePub. I want something that loads an ePub, lets me use the mousewheel to scroll it smoothly - which, by my definition, means the text 'slides' between each 'click' of the mousewheel, instead of immediately scrolling 1-5 lines - and lets me hold control and use the mousewheel to zoom in and out in order to make the text readable at a distance.

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.
