Reading books in electronic form on a computer is not very convenient. To make this process comfortable, special programs (readers) are created with different features and features that minimize discomfort and eye strain. This is important for those users who do not have a tablet or e-books (special small devices for reading like a tablet). Today we will look at the famous and most frequently downloaded programs for Windows 10.
Tools for reading books on Windows 10: choose the best
The choice of programs for reading literature on a Windows 10 PC is quite wide, despite the fact that many utilities have headed for Android and iOS mobile operating systems. Today we will choose best options, which offer maximum features, free use and a clear interface.
ICE Book Reader Professional: a powerful modern book reader with a library
At the service ICE Book Reader Professional doesn't have many competitors in terms of features. This free Russian-language reader with many subtle settings that make it stand out from the general background of similar programs allows you to:
The program window can be easily customized: choose the color of the background, the text itself, the general theme, set the automatic spacing and much more. The software can also read books for you and run files with a wide variety of extensions, including lit, chm, epub and others.
The ICE Book Reader Professional service offers a convenient mechanism for searching books in its library It is better to download the utility installer from .

Caliber: a functional reader for almost all book formats
The Caliber utility is a very handy tool to read fiction, textbooks, documents, magazines and more. The reader not only launches files with a wide variety of extensions on your screen (for example, epub, fb2, doc, pdf and others), but also converts them, that is, converts one format to another. Book management is as convenient as in ICE Book Reader Professional. It also allows you to customize the interface for yourself.
What other advantages does this software have?
The program has two drawbacks: the inability to automatically place soft hyphens after conversion, and the conversion itself is rather slow.

AlReader: a simple reader that does not need to be installed on a PC
Unfortunately, a Russian-language tool called AlReader cannot boast of wide functionality. Nevertheless, it has everything you need for reading: support for fb2, rtf, epub, odt and others formats, as well as interface customization (background color, graphic themes, text style and brightness, hyphenation, indentation, etc.). In books opened with this program, the user can make as many bookmarks as he likes. The utility also remembers the page on which you finished reading the last time.
In the software window, you can also:
A huge plus of this reader is that it does not need to be installed on a computer. You simply download the file from the official site, and then run it - the program will be immediately ready for use.
EPUBReader: Comfortable reading of epub files
The name of the program speaks for itself: it is intended only for reading epub files. The advantage of this format is that it takes up little space on the media, but is capable of displaying tables, unusual fonts, and vector graphics. The EPUBReader tool also changes the format of books (converts) epub to pdf, html or txt. The developer of the utility is the FreeSmart company. The program can be installed not only on Windows 10, but also on Android smartphones and Apple devices.
In the EPUBReader window, it is convenient to navigate through the sections of the book In EPUBReader, you can quickly move from section to section thanks to convenient navigation in the left column of the window, as well as adjust the font and text scale. The functionality of the program is not as wide as that of ICE Book Reader Professional or Caliber, but this is offset by a convenient and intuitive interface. If you only need to open epub files, this reader is a great option for you.
The reader tool must be loaded from .
FBReader: a handy tool with access to online libraries
If you're looking for a versatile yet simple tool for reading books in a variety of formats, take a look at FBReader. This tool opens epub, mobi, fb2, html, rtf, plucker, chm and other files.
The utility has access to network libraries. In some of them, you can download books of various topics and genres for free. There are also paid libraries - the FBReader tool allows you to buy books there, that is, you will not need to go to the seller's website separately.
All added books are distributed on the shelves automatically according to genre and author's name. FBReader has a clear and user-friendly interface that even a novice who knows nothing will understand. In the window, you can customize the background color, font, page turning method, etc.
This tool also has a drawback: it does not provide a two-page mode.
Books can be added to FBReader from online libraries You can download this handy reader from the official website.

It is difficult to find a user who has not heard of the Adobe Reader utility, as it is the most popular tool for reading and viewing pdf files. It is suitable not only for documents, but also for reading fiction, textbooks and magazines.
The following options are available in the program:
Download the utility installer from the official website.
DjVuViewer: A simple djvu reader

The file tool can be downloaded from its official page.
Foxit Reader: Alternative to Adobe Reader
Like Adobe Reader, Foxit is designed to view and read pdf documents and books. Its advantage is that it requires much less hard disk space to install. In addition to reading, here you can also:

More simple, but no less good are LightLib, FBReader and AlReader. In addition, there are readers for one format, for example, EPUBReader or Adobe Reader. Choose a tool depending on the file formats you download to read.
Good afternoon.
Who just did not predict the end of books with the beginning of the development of computer technology. However, progress is progress, but books both lived and live (and will live). It's just that everything has changed somewhat - electronic folios have come to replace paper folios.
And this, I must say, has its advantages: on the most ordinary computer or tablet (on Android), more than one thousand books can fit, each of which can be opened and read in a matter of seconds; there is no need to keep a large closet in the house to store them - everything fits on a PC disk; in electronic video, it is convenient to make bookmarks and reminders, etc.
The best e-book readers (*.fb2, *.txt, *.doc, *.pdf, *.djvu and more)
For Windows
Several useful and convenient "readers" that will help you immerse yourself in the process of absorbing another book while sitting at your computer.
Cool Reader
One of the most common programs for both Windows and Android (although in my opinion, for the latter, there are programs that are more convenient, but about them below).
Of the main features:
- supports formats: FB2, TXT, RTF, DOC, TCR, HTML, EPUB, CHM, PDB, MOBI (i.e. all the most common and in demand);
- adjusting the brightness of the background and fonts (a mega handy thing, you can make reading convenient for any screen and person!);
- auto-swiping (convenient, but not always: sometimes you read one page for 30 seconds, another for a minute);
- convenient bookmarks (this is very convenient);
- the ability to read books from archives (this is also very convenient, because many are distributed online in archives);
AL Reader
Another very interesting "reader". Among its main advantages: it is the ability to choose encodings (which means that when opening a book, “crack-zabras” and unreadable characters are practically excluded); support for both popular and rare formats: fb2, fb2.zip, fbz, txt, txt.zip, partial support for epub (without DRM), html, docx, odt, rtf, mobi, prc (PalmDoc), tcr.
In addition, it should be noted that this program can be used both when working with Windows and Android. I also want to note that this program has enough fine-tuning of brightness, fonts, indents, and other “things” that will help adjust the display to an ideal state, regardless of the equipment used. I recommend it for an unambiguous acquaintance!
FBReader
Another well-known and popular "reader", I could not ignore it within the framework of this article. Perhaps its most important advantages are: free, support for all popular and not so popular formats (ePub, fb2, mobi, html, etc.), flexible ability to customize the display of books (fonts, brightness, indents), a large network library (you can always pick up something for your evening reading).
By the way, one cannot but say that the application works on all the most popular platforms: Windows, Android, Linux, Mac OS X, Blackberry, etc.
Adobe Reader
This program is probably known to almost all users who have ever worked with the PDF format. And in this mega-popular format, many magazines, books, texts, pictures, etc. are distributed.
The PDF format is specific, sometimes it cannot be opened on other readers, except for Adobe Reader. Therefore, I recommend having a similar program on your PC. It has already become a basic program for many users and its installation does not even raise questions ...
DjVuViwer
The DJVU format has become very popular lately, partially replacing the PDF format. This happens due to the fact that DJVU compresses the file more strongly, with the same quality. Books, magazines, etc. are also distributed in the DJVU format.
There are a lot of readers of this format, but among them there is one small and simple utility - DjVuViwer.
Why is it better than others:
- light and fast;
- allows you to scroll through all the pages at once (i.e. there is no need to turn them over, as in other programs of this kind);
- there is a convenient option for creating bookmarks (precisely convenient, and not just its presence ...);
- opening all DJVU files without exception (i.e. there is no such thing that the utility opened one file, and the second one could not ... And this, by the way, happens with some programs (like the universal programs presented above)).
For Android
eReader Prestigio
In my humble opinion, this is one of the the best programs for reading e-books on Android. I use it on my tablet all the time.
Judge for yourself:
- a huge number of formats are supported: FB2, ePub, PDF, DJVU, MOBI, PDF, HTML, DOC, RTF, TXT (including audio formats: MP3, AAC, M4B and Read Books Out Loud (TTS));
- completely in Russian;
- convenient search, bookmarks, brightness adjustment, etc.
Those. a program from the category - installed 1 time and forgot about it, you just use it without thinking! I recommend trying it, a screenshot from it below.
FullReader+
Another handy android app. I also often use it, opening one book in the first reader (see above), and the second in this one :).
Main advantages:
- support for a bunch of formats: fb2, epub, doc, rtf, txt, html, mobi, pdf, djvu, xps, cbz, docx, etc.;
- the ability to read aloud;
- convenient setting of the background color (for example, you can make the background like a real old book, some people like it);
- built-in file manager (it’s convenient to immediately search for what you need);
- a convenient "memory" of recently opened books (and reading the current one).
For those who consume the printed word exclusively on the scale of Twitter messages, a reasonable question arises: "Why are they needed on a computer at all, these same reader programs?"
Indeed, you can open small texts in any operating system without problems - there are enough standard applications for this. But there are simply no tools that allow you to work normally with more solid sizes in a "clean" system. And with staff, it is very inconvenient to do this, and the eyes get very tired.
So if you have to read rather large texts from the screen, and you want to do it with maximum comfort, and at the same time you still want to save your eyesight, you simply cannot do without specialized programs - electronic readers.
There are quite a few e-book readers out there. Each has its pros and cons. But it is impossible to cover them all in one article. Therefore, I will limit myself to only those that have "taken root" on my computers over the years. Or periodically, as needed, appear on them.
Easy and convenient program. And although it is not updated too often, all versions are still functional. Designed for Windows, but under Linux it usually works well under Wine. There is also an official one running Windows Mobile.
On mobile platforms, IMHO, she has no serious competitors at all, neither in terms of capabilities, nor in terms of convenience.
It has a large number of all sorts of settings, which you don’t have to look into if you don’t want to - most of the options are reasonably set and by default.
It has a large list of supported formats, including the now mega-popular FB2. One of the few that work with ODT files (Open Document used in OpenOffice.org, Microsoft Office and LibreOffice) without prior conversion.
The default interface resembles an open book, the yellowish background of the pages is more comfortable for the eyes and very comfortable for long reading. As a bonus - AlReader does not require installation and can work from any mobile media. For me personally, this is the most convenient and favorite program for reading FB2 and EPUB files.
The program is cross-platform and not only free (which is quite natural), but also open source - its sources are available. So on the Web you can find its version not only for any PC operating system, but I also met packages compiled by craftsmen for a variety of mobile platforms more than once. So, if you understand, you can conjure yourself with raw materials, or search the Web for a ready-made package specifically for your mobile device.
There is also a large selection of supported formats, a good set of settings, a choice between one-page and two-page reading modes, etc.
And although CoolReader 3 does not differ in anything extraordinary, it performs its main task "by 5 points" - reading with this program is very convenient (with the right settings "for yourself"). Over the years of use, no particular minuses have been noticed.
The word "Professional" in the title is not without reason - today, IMHO, this is the most powerful and versatile program for reading e-books. At the same time, the Russian version is free to use.
In fact, it consists of two equivalent modules - the reader itself (reader) and the library.
The reader can operate in two modes - scrolling mode (one page per screen) and book mode (two pages per screen). Moreover, each mode can be configured separately - background, font, page flipping, etc.
It is necessary to dwell a little more on scrolling. In ICE Book Reader Professional, you can turn pages both manually (and in several ways) and automatically. In this case, you can either set the scrolling speed yourself or set it to full automatic. With full automatic, the program will independently adjust to the user's reading pace.
The library mode is a full-fledged cataloger in which you can sort the added books by genres, authors, series, etc. Moreover, the program can take the data for sorting itself, directly from the added files, or everything can be easily changed or set by hand.
It should be noted that the books are "imported" into the library - not just links to them are created, but the book file itself is copied to a special storage (you can adjust the compression level to save disk space). Therefore, after importing, there is no need for the original file.
When installing, I recommend that you carefully consider the option of choosing a directory for storing the library - a conveniently located directory with books (your personal settings are also stored in it - next time you won’t have to configure everything again) can be easily copied to simplify your task in case of possible reinstallations of the system or transferring the program to another PC.
The list of supported formats is more than impressive - almost all common formats. At the same time, ICE Book Reader can import books directly from archives, without any need to unpack them first. A wide variety of archives are also supported, including exotic and obsolete ones, with which no modern archiver works anymore.
The abundance of settings can confuse inexperienced users. And absolutely in vain - everything is very simple there. Just a little attention and time spent on setting up, and everything will pay off. Because ICE Book Reader is not only the most powerful reader today, but also the most customizable for a specific user. It can be perfectly adjusted just for you in order to read in comfort and enjoy the process.
Programs for viewing PDF, DjVu and other formats
In addition to all kinds of text formats, there are a number of others that, strictly speaking, are not text. But nonetheless, electronic books in such formats are found on the Web all the time. At the same time, if in almost any Linux distribution right out of the box there are tools for viewing "everything and everything", then in a freshly installed Windows, tools for opening such files are completely absent as a class. You will have to install them yourself.
Of these formats, the first is PDF. It is in it that pirated copies of books are most often found on the Internet - scanned textbooks, encyclopedias, tutorials, magazines, etc. (however, not only pirated ones). Therefore, software for working with such files is "vital".
The original program from the developer of the format. And that says it all - everything that can only be supported and worked in PDF is supported and works. On the one hand, this is a plus. On the other hand, all kinds of scripts embedded in the book file itself also work. And among them now there can be malicious ones.
Having downloaded from the Internet a pirated version of some tutorial or a fresh version of a computer magazine in PDF, do not be too lazy to properly drive it with an antivirus.
As a result, Adobe is forced to constantly release patches and patch security holes. Vrochem, this problem concerns not only Adobe Reader, but also any other software for working with PDF. As for Adobe Reader itself, one of the shortcomings should be noted more than a significant amount occupied on the disk, and heaviness.
Also designed for viewing PDF, but an order of magnitude lighter than the above program. Lighter, faster and less gluttonous. At the same time, Foxit Reader is also not deprived of its capabilities. It has Russian localization (when the Internet is connected, select Russian in the settings - the localization file will automatically download and move to the right place). There are a bunch of versions - old, new, portable (works without installation)... - all doing their main function - PDF viewing, without any need for an adobe reader. So I recommend.
There is a version for Linux. And although it has been in beta for many years, it works without any serious glitches.
In addition to PDF, another common e-book format on the Internet is DjVu. It is ideal for scanning educational, scientific and engineering literature - one-color text containing drawings, formulas and graphs is compressed into relatively small files with very good quality. That's just from Windows programs for viewing this format, IMHO, only one is worthy of attention (Linux users have a little better with this question).
The program is small, fast and convenient. It does not differ in especially "fancy" functionality. But she is only required to tear off DjVu files normally, which she does "by five points". In general, highly recommended for use.
On my PCs, the "guest" is quite rare, but some will definitely come in handy. A distinctive feature of this program is its "omnivorousness". From e-books, it opens almost everything that can be opened. So if you don't want to run a whole "zoo" of reader programs on your computer, you can try STDU Viewer.
Well, for dessert, another program that stands somewhat apart.
This is just a reader - this is a real "combine" for working with electronic books. It consists of several modules, the first of which is the reader itself. Reads everything that can be read in principle. It has a lot of settings and all sorts of "goodies", dealing with which (due to the lack of Russian translation of the documentation) can bring a lot of pleasure. However, there is nothing particularly difficult there, and with due care, everything can be mastered by the "poke method", especially since the program interface itself is well localized (completely Russian).
Another part is the catalog library. It also has a lot of options for importing and sorting books, allowing you to sort your library as you like.

And, finally, one more module - the converter. The third and main module of the program. Since the main purpose of Caliber is to convert e-books into files for various mobile devices. At the same time, the program receives almost any e-book file as input (the list of supported formats is huge - almost EVERYTHING), and outputs a file suitable for reading on your mobile device. And here, too, all common combinations are possible.
If there are possible problems with the conversion, I recommend that you take care to set the correct encoding specifically for your case.
That's all for today.
You can read an e-book on almost any mobile device, but it is more comfortable to do it from the large screen of a PC or laptop. It is this circumstance that supports the popularity of specialized reading programs. Today we're going to take a look at the best free e-readers for Windows, comparing their features and ease of use.
A modern e-book is not just text. It contains chapter markers, footnotes, and illustrations. All these features fully support only three formats:
- ePub (Electronic Publication) - international and most common;
- fb2/fb3 (Fiction Book) - created by domestic programmers and widely used only in Runet;
- azw3/Mobi - Amazon Kindle native reader formats.
We will conduct testing based on the fact that any considered reader for Windows should be able to work with them. Additional features, such as support for plain or formatted text files, will count as a nice bonus.
Liberty Book Reader
The first program in the review is available at official store Windows Store. Books can be purchased online or downloaded from your own collection. Considering that we are considering free programs, in-app purchases will not be taken into account.
The interface corresponds to the description and is completely made in Russian. There is nothing superfluous in the main window of Liberty. In addition to the standard control buttons, another one has been added to switch to full screen mode. Loading books from local storage is done with one simple action. As stated by the developers, the epub and fb2 formats are correctly recognized.
Basic settings are available in reading mode:
- text alignment;
- day/night mode change;
- four-way navigation: page, bookmark, note, table of contents;
- font type selection;
- change of presentation mode: single page, spread, scroll.
You can adjust the screen brightness and margins. Your selections are saved as a separate style that you can return to. Control elements are called by analogy with the context menu and are automatically hidden after performing the operations required by the user.
Periodically, the program gives an error, after closing which it continues to work.
As a standard Windows reader available for installation from the app store, Liberty gets the job done.
Cool Reader
Cool Reader for Windows can be downloaded as a zip file. The program does not require installation. It is enough to unzip the archive and run the exe file. To add books, you must manually specify the folder in which they are located. Implemented access to online catalogs. Presets contain links only to English-language materials, but the user can add the required resource on his own. The interface language is switched in the settings. To enable the Russian version of the help, you must manually add a document from the internal directory of the program:
cr3\res\manuals\manual_template_ru
Inside the program, books are sorted using predefined filters: by file name, author, title or series. In addition to the basic settings, the user can change the animation when scrolling through the pages or turn on the reading aloud mode.
Owners of touchscreen laptops will be pleased to have touchscreen support included in the program. A separate help section is devoted to using the touchscreen capabilities.
Books in the tested formats were recognized correctly. In fb2 reading mode, footnotes are placed at the bottom of the general text on the page. The solution is convenient and allows the user not to be distracted by additional navigation through the menu.
For a program that doesn't even install, Cool Reader for Windows is impressive.
AlReader
AlReader is positioned as an fb2 reader for Windows. The "Librarian" function is designed to scan a directory specified by the user and automatically add the detected files of this format to the program database. Recognized books are immediately available for reading. Adding epub files, with which the program can also work, is done manually.
The settings are divided into separate blocks and placed on the top panel of the main window. Users who find it more convenient to work with the graphical menu can place its panel below the main one. You can fix it in this position permanently or only in full screen mode.
Reading fb2 with notes is implemented on two levels. It is possible to place them as footnotes on the page or go to a selected section of the book. Reverse navigation to the main text works by pressing one button. For epub, only a quick return from the notes area is implemented.
The settings allow you to completely reconfigure all the parameters of the displayed text. The selected book can be converted directly in the program into an unmarked text format or an HTML file. The first is accepted by Kindle readers, and the second can be dispensed with without reading programs. Any browser opens such a document.
AlReader could claim the title of "the best fb2 reader for Windows", but since 2011 the program has not been updated. So far, it copes with its task, but the convenience of the interface leaves much to be desired.
ICE Book Reader
The next program that hit the top of the Windows readers was ICE Book Reader Pro. For residents of the post-Soviet space, it is free. The "professional" prefix in the title is intended to attract foreign users.
When installed, ICE Book integrates into the system, taking over the work with e-book formats. It cannot be said that the program is an ideal fb2 and epub reader for Windows. Appearance it has a rather specific, and the scrolling mode used is resource-demanding.
Its popularity is based on the prevalence of the formats used and the built-in conversion capabilities. Comparing the level of support for free readers for Windows, we can say that ICE Book has the most complete help system.
Fully Russian-language help describes in detail the options for settings aimed at achieving maximum program performance.
STDU Viewer
STDU Viewer is another universal Windows reader included in our review. The only one of the reviewed programs that works not only with the old (mobi), but also with the new (azw) Kindle format. STDU is distributed in a similar way to ICE Book. For private use, the program is available free of charge. When registering, you must specify an e-mail and check the box for non-commercial use.
A feature of STDU is its integration with common formats for storing scanned documents, which are used to create electronic versions of paper textbooks. The program is able to export the material contained in them in the "text" or "picture" modes. Extraction is performed by whole pages or separate information blocks.
Exported materials immediately adapt to the standard paper format, which allows you to print them like regular office documents. As a result, the program can be used not only for reading, but also for working with electronic versions of paper media. The implemented ability to work with tabs is also intended for the same purpose. In the main window, you can open several documents and, switching between them, search and retrieve information.
The user is invited to master the work of the built-in tools on their own. Help on functions is missing not only in Russian, but also in English.
As an epub reader for Windows, it recognizes the book's format and table of contents, while not allowing you to follow internal links leading to notes. The universality of working with formats in this case led to a deterioration in quality.
Finally
Having considered the best readers for Windows, we can draw the following conclusions. For its intended use, the Cool Reader program is best adapted. In second place in terms of convenience is AlReader. On the third - Liberty. Universal readers ICE and STDU are best used as editing and information extraction tools.
Despite the fact that mobile e-books have appeared that have replaced traditional paper sources of information for readers, it is desirable to have a book reader on your own computer. It may be needed, for example, to read technical, scientific and fiction literature, as well as to view drawings that are now being created in book format.
There are a lot of programs for reading books on a computer. Below is a selection of readers that managed to prove themselves from the best side.
Cool Reader
It can rightfully be called the most popular and widespread among users. There is a version for both desktop and mobile devices. Supports many different book formats: .doc, .txt, .fb2, .rtf and .epub. The program allows you to browse websites.Features of the reader for the computer are as follows:
- automatic page turning. The function can be disabled if you need to spend a lot of time to familiarize yourself with the data on the page;
- adjustment of the background and brightness of the font in accordance with the wishes of the user;
- viewing the contents of books in archives without unpacking them.
ALReader
is an e-book reader that can run on computers with operating system Linux and Windows.main feature reader - a lot of settings. But, an ordinary user is unlikely to have to change anything, and he may well get by with the default settings. ALReader supports a lot of formats, including ODT and FB2. Just thanks to the ability to view the last two formats, the reader has become in demand.
It is noteworthy, but when creating the program, the creators paid Special attention and its design. Having opened ALReader, the user will be surprised to see a book in front of him on printed newspaper sheets. To use the reader, there is no need to install it. Immediately after downloading it can be used in full mode.
FBReader
If the user often has to resort to viewing documents and reading literature in various formats, then he is recommended to download this reader. The reading process can be customized according to personal preferences.It has a simple and intuitive interface, which, if desired, is easy to customize. All open book files are classified by characteristics - title, genre and author.
There is no need to move e-books to a shared folder - FBReader automatically creates links to their location in the computer's memory. The program has one drawback - a two-page mode is not provided.
Adobe Reader
It is difficult to find a computer user who has never met this program in his life. As a rule, if you want to open a book in PDF format, then Adobe Reader is used. In this format, not only books are now being created, but also magazines and other journalism. Many other readers do not always manage to open documents and books in PDF.Documents in PDF format can also be a threat to your computer. Attackers inject malicious scripts into them, and therefore, before opening anything, you should check the file in an antivirus program.
The same problem applies to other programs where you can open books and documents in PDF. To minimize the risks, you should use only the latest versions of the reader. The program takes up a lot of space in the computer's memory and installs much longer than others. software products with similar purposes.
DjVuViwer
The .djvu format is gradually and steadily replacing .pdf documents. The fact is that the first format compresses files better, which saves space in the computer's memory. If you need a modern reader for reading data in .djvu format, then this is the best of them.The advantages of the program are as follows:
- opening documents in other formats besides .djvu;
- you can scroll through all the pages, and not flip through them two by two, which happens in the vast majority of programs;
- creating bookmarks in a simple and convenient way;
- fast book opening speed.
Foxit Reader
Like the previous reader, Foxit Reader can also be used to read documents in pdf format. But, unlike Adobe Reader, it requires less hard disk space to install. The range of possibilities of the reader is quite huge.The program menu is presented in several languages. The application functions mainly on computers running Windows. But, recently, versions have appeared that can run on a PC that uses Windows.
ICE Book Reader Professional
The word Professional in the name of the program is used for a reason. This reader has a rather enviable functionality, which is easy to understand by testing the program for a few minutes. Distributed absolutely free of charge and presented in Russian.The program includes two modules of equal importance - a library and a reader. You can select single-page or double-page view to view documents.
Often, the mode is selected according to user preferences and monitor screen sizes. Each mode has its own set of settings.
The advantage and at the same time a disadvantage (due to the increase in the space occupied by data) of the reader is that it automatically downloads all the books to the library in full. So the file can be deleted from the main location later.
If the amount of space for storing data is small, then you should go to the settings and adjust the level of compression.
