About this app

The Premium Edition of the popular ebook reader.

Features available in this premium version:
* Reading aloud (via Android text-to-speech)
* Google Translate and DeepL integration
* Built-in support for PDF and comic book formats

FBReader opens DRM-free ebooks and ebooks protected with Readium LCP.

The primary ebook formats supported in FBReader are ePub (including the main features of ePub3), PDF, Kindle azw3 (mobipocket), and fb2(.zip). Other supported formats include comic books (CBZ/CBR), RTF, doc (MS Word), HTML, and plain text.

To assist reading in a foreign language, use FBReader's dictionary integration to look up words or phrases. You can choose from a wide selection of external dictionaries.

In FBReader Premium, you can translate sentences directly in the app using the integrated Google or DeepL translator.

FBReader supports sync of your library and reading positions with the FBReader book network (https://books.fbreader.org/), a Google Drive™ based cloud service. The synchronization is off by default; to enable and configure it, use the preferences dialogue.

FBReader is fast and highly customizable. It can use external TrueType/OpenType fonts and custom backgrounds, adjust the screen brightness while reading (slide your finger up/down along the left screen edge), and select different day/night color schemes.

This reader also includes a browser/downloader to access network ebook catalogs and stores. Custom OPDS catalogs are supported, too.

Alternatively, you can download books manually and save them on your device in the folder Books.

In addition, the reader is localized for 34 languages and includes hyphenation patterns for 24 languages.

The app's good, but only when you can actually use it. I bought it a few years back and enjoyed it, but after I got myself a new phone I just can't download the app! There isn't even an error popping up saying what's wrong... I tap download, it looks like it starts doing its thing but in just half a second it gets back to square one, prompting me to install the app. Please do something about it.

NO. The new update freezes the library and constantly prompts that the app is not responding, even after reading a book. Please, can someone please publish the version I was using in early 2025? Even a clone copy? ---disregard my old review below--- My goto book reader since... (let's just say more than 10 years). Have read full range of novels here. Only extra feature I'd want is a plugged in charger to count as a full battery.

All is good for many years. But can you please make filenames a bit unique when downloading? or rename them. It's not handy to have the same "download.fb2.zip" for all the files even in the different directories, because the directory names are also meaningless for a human.
