BookReader

BookReader is a powerful Windows freebie developed to allow users read e-books effortlessly.

Although the choice of colors isn't the most fortunate, BookReader is quite easy to use and an average computer user should be able to figure out the purpose of each tool in a second.

The e-book's content is obviously the main focus, but there are plenty of other options available in the program's menus.

For example, BookReader features auto scroll, which is quite a helpful feature if you do not wish to touch the mouse or the keyboard arrows while reading a book.

It sports a MyBooks screen, which is more like a library that lets you read any of the locally-stored books or download more from the Internet. Table of contents, bookmarks, previous and next chapter controls are also available to offer a more enjoyable reading experience.

Because we mentioned the color palette, BookReader lets users change the colors for every single element, such as background, normal text, titles, epigraphs and poems. You are allowed to adjust font, encoding and page layout, as well as the auto scroll speed.

As you may guess, BookReader runs on low resources and it's almost impossible to experience a high CPU usage while reading an e-book. The app can be installed on any Windows version and doesn't require special user privileges.

This means that BookReader is indeed an app that appeals to any user category out there, although experienced users may expect some more customization options. The program however serves its purpose very well and comprises a more than decent feature package.
