View EPUB files. Foliate is based on Epub.js, and supports both two-page view and scrolled view. Customize font and line-spacing. Choose between light, sepia, dark, and invert mode.

Easy navigation. View the table of contents, or use the find in book feature. Reading progress slider with chapter marks makes it easy to find your way through the book.

Quick dictionary lookup. Foliate uses metadata included in the eBook to determine which language to lookup. This feature is powered by Wiktionary, the free dictionary.

Add bookmarks, highlights, and notes. Foliate stores your reading progress, bookmarks, and annotations in your XDG data directory as plain JSON files, so you can export or sync them easily.

In my opinion the best desktop epub reader. I wish they also had a windows version. The interface is clean, you find all the features you expect, such as dictionary, translator, themes, export notes and so on. Amazing app.

Said about Foliate as an alternative

it provides a beautiful ereader with page flip animation, and two page view mimicking paper books that runs on a full computer not a mobile device. unfortunately only works on linux. but very good!
