    I use the web-based platform and it's just very good. Super intuitive and minimalistic but with great functionalities and customization. And it's FOSS.

    The Windows version of AIReader has an absolutely terrible text layout, and an even worse interface. I'm not sure if it's possible to change the text layout, but I'm pretty sure it isn't.

    Calibre is for PC, Moon+ Reader is for Android. They are great as counterparts and I use both regularly, but neither is an alternative to the other.
