About this app

A free ebook reader.

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.

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.

Mar 2, 2025 update is the worst update to date. Can no longer browse download directory on my device. I could almost live with that, but the real deal-breaker is that turning pages with the volume keys often involves a multi-second delay now. Either going to revert to an older version and turn off updates or just use this as the kick in the pants I need to find a new reader. Mar 19, 2025 update fixed the performance issue at least. Still wish I could browse the download directory. No kick sadly.

Up to version 3.7.7. I give later versions zero stars. They broke the file system. You can no longer just select book folder on SD Card. Been using this app since 2011 I think. Last update screwed everything royally. I had to download 3.7.7 apk & set up again something that worked well for a decade. If you like setting up your own file system, stay the hell away from later version than 3.7.7 of this app.

Downloaded this looking for a voice reader with high quality voices. Turns out the voice function is completely disabled in the standard version - you cannot even sample the voices to see if they're worth paying for. Absolutely ZERO chance I'd ever pay the $12 for the Premium version without at least sampling the quality. Uninstalling.
