FBReader is a fast and easy-to-use e-book reader for iPhone and iPad. It supports all major e-book formats, including ePub (with key ePub3 features), Kindle azw3, and fb2 (.zip). You can open both unprotected books and ePub files protected with Readium LCP DRM.

FBReader also reads RTF, Word (.doc), HTML, and plain text, so you can keep all your books and documents in one place.

Read anywhere and pick up right where you left off. FBReader can sync your library, reading positions, bookmarks, and more across devices using the FBReader Book Network, a cloud service powered by Google Drive.

If you prefer managing files yourself, you can download books in your browser and open them directly with FBReader.

A wide range of appearance and behavior options lets you customize the reading experience to match your preferences.

Free version and upgrade options:
. The free version allows up to 10 books in your library.
