In 'lite' mode Freda would just display a list of (say 6) most recently opened books on its main screen, and the normal way to launch it would be to click on an EPUB or FB2 file. Would that be valuable to you?

The only thing I use on my tablet is simple reading (changing background colour, depending on location and time, and margin/font sizes being the only other thing). It's almost sad that there is not a simple reader application out there, that simply provides some basic layout settings (font colour, background colour, font size, margins) without most of the advanced settings. At least on a full windows machine.
I already use Freda on my phone and I find it's a very nice reader in general, so there's nothing wrong with it! I've no idea how Freda looks on a Windows 10 PC though, as I don't think I'll ever upgrade my tablet to Windows 10...
