What it is
PocketBook Reader is a mobile app for reading e-books, magazines, textbooks, and comics, as well as listening to audiobooks. It runs on Android and iOS and supports formats including EPUB, PDF, FB2, MOBI, DJVU, DOCX, RTF, TXT, HTML, CBZ, CBR, MP3, and M4B. Adobe DRM works with PDF and EPUB, and OPDS catalogs provide another way to access reading material. Readers can change font size, colors, margins, and other display settings; built-in text-to-speech and dictionaries are also available. PocketBook Cloud syncs books, libraries, and reading positions across devices, with the App Store listing also noting notes and bookmarks. The app can connect to Dropbox and Google Books, and Google Play says downloaded books can be read offline without ads or registration. The free reader app is listed as free, with app stores indicating in-app purchases. The App Store describes the app as designed for iPad but not verified for macOS.
