JMReader

JMReader is a software application that enables you to read ebooks in a user-friendly environment. It's capable of opening files with the .txt, .htm, .html, .zip and .rar format.

The tool comes packed with some handy options, such as adjustable scrolling speed, bookmarks, and favorites.

After a speedy and uneventful setup operation, you're welcomed by a plain and simple interface, where you can indicate a directory whose containing documents you want to read.

It's possible to cut, copy and paste text, switch to reading mode, hide the toolbar, status bar and preview area to maximize the reading panel, arrange the files in the folder by name, size, type or date, as well as create a favorites list.

JMReader contains a tool dedicated to cleaning book cards by title, author, date, content or memo. Meanwhile, the UI appearance can be customized when it comes to the scheme, text font and color, line space, margins, and other aspects.

It can automatically process HTML files, divide paragraphs intelligently, smoothen the font, as well as minimize to the systray to become minimally invasive and let you carry on with your normal PC activity. File associations can be made too. Keyboard shortcuts are supported.

We haven't come across any stability problems throughout our testing, since the program didn't freeze, crash or display error dialogs. It needed a low amount of CPU and RAM to work properly, so it didn't hamper system performance.

On the other hand, it hasn't received updates for a long time and the interface could use some improvements. Nevertheless, JMReader offers a user-friendly environment for reading ebooks and it's free. Thanks to its intuitive options, it can be handled by all types of users.
