Thorium Reader

Excellent for EPUB

Loads fast, clean interface. Opens individual files in separate windows which can be a hindrance for those just wanted to switch, but I’ve found they’re useful for split and or comparative reading. I do this all the time; I need different versions of the Holy Bible opened at all times so this default ‘separate window’ mode comes in handy, but I understand the frustration of the lack of a setting for ‘open in same window’ as default mode. Suggestions: (1) add ‘open in same window’ mode as a default opening option in Settings; (2) add ability to set unified display across all files, i.e., same font size, style, paper color, etc., for all publications in Settings; (3) add folder and or equivalent library categorization features where users can group and organize books into sections, blocks, genres, etc., based on tags [the current ‘catalogs’ doesn’t seem to be made for this, and if it was, instructions are unclear]; (4) add ability to edit books’ properties (e.g., titles, series, genres) on ‘About Publication’ page; (5) add option to continue reading last read book at app opening in Settings [not individual file’s setting] to ease continuous workflow. Overall, it does the job for me. Sure, there are things I wish it had as default, but that isn’t a dealbreaker. It doesn’t feel archaic or cluttered with unnecessary buttons and options, which is what I’m looking for—core functionality with minimalistic design. Waiting for those suggested features and more.

Nice one! Quick, simple and functional without too much unnecessary settings. For a moment my favorite.

I would like to offer a glowing review for Thorium, because I feel other reviews have not been left by its target audience. Thorium isn't the best EPUB reader for the average user, but is the undisputed best option for those with reading disabilities.

I've tried using a wide variety of EPUB readers, but none have been customizable enough to accommodate my dyslexia. Thorium's custom font options, precise controls for editing the spacing of words and lines, and even choice in terms of how you move through pages are unbeatable.

Though Thorium is not the best in its class overall, it is the best in terms of accessibility. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in EPUB as an accommodation for dyslexia.

It's cool but not the best choice, you need to select dark theme for every book, it doesnt have any fancy features, if you need any. Not feels like a complete app when compared with Calibre or Sumatra PDF. Shame, it have a good UI actually.
