BTW, Sumatra pre-release version has dark theme support, this was also interesting to find today

fbreader reader is another option for opening DJVU files and loading them like pocketbook also fbreader has a windows store version and windows ports besides the android version of the software, I don't know how it compares to pocketbook app but that is another option in windows for viewing and access the outputs of djvu from pdf files.it works with android, IOS, linux distros and windows. it might be a better viewer for opening the djvu files, but you still have to load them into a cloud in order to access them from this software on windows, I think the fbreader on android can open files directly on your tablet, but it looks like the windows software is not exactly the same in its interface. would be good for djvu if the windows version supported it, it cannot open djvu files under windows, I am sure the android version supports it but not the windows port it seems. the android port does a djvu plugin with the software, I don't know yet if the windows port just doesn't have or bother to include pdf or djvu support but fbreader can be used with WSABuilds, so its still possible to access your cloud djvu files from it. text to speech does not work in fbreader on android, and I have not found a djvu plugin for the windows version yet. but it is another reader, but unlike pocketbook android app, it doesn't seem to support a book like inteface for the djvu files, it shows 2 pages seperated it can turn like a book, but it doesn't seem to look like it does in pocketbook, that's the same djvu file loaded onto fbreader cloud site, with my google access, and it does load it in android but not windows port yet. I think I said this but no text to speech features for djvu in fbreader compared to pocketbook that has text to speech with it otherwise it usable.

by the way I learned that k2pdfopt v2.55 can not only load pdf files and output them with ocr (Tesseract) to pdf_k2opt output of the original but you can also load DjVu files into it and output it back to a pdf with OCR if you like lost the original pdf and had converted one into that other format, it might be handy.
https://djvu-spec.narod.ru/ - used DjVu-Spec Pdf 2 Djvu Converter,
seems good for converting them, since it includes a DjVu Text feature with the DjVu Images, I think this might of been what I used to include DjVu with Text to Speech in PocketBooks app.
k2pdfopt v2.55 is from https://willus.com/k2pdfopt/
the only thing about converting pdf to DjVu then loading them into either FBReader cloud or PocketBooks Cloud system, is that when converting them, I don't recall a box for the authers name, as it seems to end up labeled as unknown, but the book has the correct title name, that's the only small problem with turning pdf into DjVu files, I have not found a way to label the authers name for each these types eBooks.
