I'm a bit late tailing into this thread, but would like to add my recent observations...

Normally, I *far* prefer reading my ebooks on my Kindle 6.8", but when I'm sitting at home, I've begun reading on my 30" computer monitor instead... so I've been looking for a good ebook reader for Windows 10. My basic requirements are:

1. a tabbed reader would be very nice, as I often have several documents and books open.
2. PDF support is not required, I already have a very powerful PDF reader for Windows... I just want epub variants, and possibly azw3, supported.
3. I definitely wish to set colors and fonts; I typically use script fonts for reading non-technical books.
4. I didn't realize that this could be an issue until I stumbled over SumatraPDF: yeah, the reader needs to be able to display footnotes, and smoothly transition back to main text.

Results:
> SumatraPDF: font setting is not available at all, unless I regress back to V3.2. Even in V3.2, it requires editing a text file. Color setting is bizarre; most of the interface is not actually settable in later versions (though V3.2 is nice). Current version looks *very* primitive, like it is written for Windows 3.1 or something.

Footnotes are *completely* broken, they just display a token message.

> Calibre: font settings don't seem to work in the viewer, though they did at some point in the past. Color settings I didn't test. No tabbed viewing, but can open multiple windows simultaneously, which is bearable if I don't have too many documents open.

Later note: also, Calibre is the only one of these three programs, that displays tables correctly... which is odd, given that this is probably ancient html code...

> FBReader: This is my current go-to epub reader for Windows... fonts and color settings are easy and intuitive. No tabbed viewing, but can open multiple windows simultaneously, which is bearable if I don't have too many documents open.

Footnotes are *perfect* ... point at the footnote number to pop up a little with the info, click on the footnote to open a separate page with nearby notes visible as well; back-arrow takes you right back to the document.

Support for the program is awkward; I would like to discuss the tabbed viewing issue with them, but the only support that I can find is a Telegram page, which shows all messages in a foreign language (Cyrillic, I think), and no obvious way to change it...
