Not Just a Windows ePub Reader

If you read online -- and let's face it, who doesn't -- odds are you've come across an ePub file. If you're on a device that already supports it, you should have no problem opening the ePub and getting into your reading. But if you're on Windows and your computer blankly stares at you when you try to open that ePub file, you need an ePub reader. While you used to be able to open up ePub books in the default Windows internet browser, they discontinued support for that function when the company developed the Chromium-based Edge browser, so you'll have to get a third-party app.

But it's not a big deal. There are plenty of Windows ePub readers that can get you up and running, though it's not clear which one you should use and whether there are even real differences between them. According to the ePub format itself, an ePub reader is just something that can read an ePub file, but there's a lot of functionality under the hood. Epub files separate the content from the display, which means different apps, devices and screens can display the same content in a way that looks great, no matter what you're viewing it on.

However, ePubs support note taking, highlighting, bookmarking and tons of other features, and unless you get the right Windows ePub reader, you might not get any of this. Furthermore, some readers sync your reading across devices and platforms, so you can pick up reading whenever you have a moment. A Windows ePub reader that only works on Windows won't be able to do this at all, and if you want to switch devices you'll have to copy everything over or start from scratch, and that can be a real bummer if you've spent days or weeks highlighting and making notes.

With Neat Reader, you can read, annotate and manage all your ePub books and reading material from just one app. Not only is it a full-featured Windows ePub reader, but compatible apps for iOS, Android and even Macs make Neat Reader the best way to read ePubs on multiple devices. Even if you don't own a computer and use a public terminal at a cafe or the library, Neat Reader works without downloading anything with a comprehensive web app that's just like the native software.

Since the format of mobi and azw3 is very similar to EPUB, the book files after transcoding can be kept basically the same.

Yes, of course.

Great EPUB reader. Since Edge no longer supports epub, I have been looking for suitable alternatives. Neat Reader should be ranked much much higher, other epub viewers are just toys. For the first time, I think Google should re-evalute their way of ranking pages.

It is great to see such a good and free ePub file reader for Windows 10. I have been using Calibre to read my eBooks for couple of years, but the lack of annotation and cloud synchronization frustrated me. I am glad you guys build this ePub reader for PC, it is really amazing.

My workstation is very old, it is still running Windows 7. When I searched "how to open epub files on windows", most of the pages told me to install apps from Windows Store, which I can not do. I almost gave up finding ePub file reader for Windows 7, then I found Neat Reader. This app really amazed me, thank you guys for supporting Windows 7.

Thanks for developing this easy to use ePub opener, I have tried a lot of epub program, most of them are awkward or hard to use. This one clearly stands out.
