Cool Reader GL

★★★★★ Arabic books not working I want to read arabic, but how ? Please add arabic support

★★★★★ This is a dynamite epub reader - the best I've used, and trust me - I've tried them all. I have a number of authors who write a series of books, and they're best read in the order they've been written (new situations, new characters, etc.). Michael Connelly, David Rosenfeld, and Tana French are just a few such authors. What I do it edit the filename to tell me the order: "1-Book 1 to read," "2-Books 2 to read" etc. That works great - as long as the epub app lets me select books using the file system. But most apps don't do that - they have this fancy 'library' system that shows you the cover, and defaults to the embedded filename. Then I have no idea what the correct read order is. Not good. Secondly, I really like being able to adjust the look of the book - font, font size and color, page color, night mode colors (just a choice of black-white doesn't do it for me). Cool Reader has every adjustment I can think of. And, the final readable page looks so much better than any other reader I've tried! So if either of these situations involved you - consider this app. I don't think you'll be unhappy. I see where someone complains that they want to read PDFs and this app doesn't allow that. But there are many online and free converters to convert any PDF into an epub - or, use Caliber which is totally free.

★★★★★ I've been away on nostalgic paper books for a while. Returned to find CR GL much improved, even better than the legacy CR I loved so much. Still the best ebook reader ever. Simply amazing. There is even a PC app!

★★☆☆☆ When I try to open a .txt file, there is no suggestion to open it with different applications. There must be a list of apps, including Cool Reader, which can open a .txt file. Such a list does not pop up. The file opens straight away with Microsoft Word. What can be done?

★★☆☆☆ Useless compared to original version. Does not handle non-ASCII book names, especially in archives. Heavy with useless on-screen cruft. Microscopic interface font. Lack of any usable settings.

★★☆☆☆ Does not let you open books on sd card, only internal storage and download/emulated storage.

★★☆☆☆ Useless. What's the point of having good reader, if you can't browse sd card for a book
