The latest being fictionbookreader (and isn't it great how the Windows Store can't find this app because I tried searching for just "fiction"?)

Anyway, I associated all epubs with fictionbookreader and it says "book imports done. Do you want to open new books?" and I say yes, and then .... nothing.

I know it is developers and not Microsoft that need to make the effort, but even the Nook app, the latest comments say it is buggy with Windows 10.

Is there anything decent in the way of a Windows Store app for epub? I am actually prepared to pay for a decent one.
It takes a while for Fiction Book Reader to import titles.
I fed it a folder with 800 titles and it took a couple hours to build the library.
It works fine for me.

FREDA also works well.

Also, remember the Windows store isn't the only source for apps.
Anything that run on desktop Windows runs in Win10.
