Comments and Reviews
Dont know any other good modern crossplatform readers
Readest application is the best eBook reader app I have installed so far. Its features are powerful to upgrade my reading experience. I really appreciate the cloud synchronisation and application customisation.
Readest is a feature-rich, easy-to-use, free and open source ebook reader with no ads. It's available on every platform you could want it on, and is boasts great, modern UI design.
I've been using it for quite some time and am very satisfied. It's full of features and fast.
This one worked on my PostmarketOS phone when even Foliate struggled with the Text to Speech (TTS). Aside from that it is also a highly functional piece of software.
Great looks, highly customizable and solid performance. Lacks some shortcuts, but apart from that, great.
Readest is an exceptional ebook reader app that prioritizes immersive and customizable reading experiences. Its intuitive interface, versatile split-screen functionality, and support for multiple books at once make it stand out from the competition. Features like highlighting, bookmarking, and progress syncing are seamlessly integrated, enhancing usability. Additionally, the app's commitment to local reading and lightweight performance is perfect for desktop users. With thoughtful design and robust features, Readest has become my go-to reading companion. Highly recommend!
