Unfortunately it is only available from the Microsoft Store... which requires a Microsoft account and all that jazzz. I'm not ready for that, yet.

FWIW: I am surprised that the developer would restrict themselves to "only-through-the-Microsoft-Store". Surprises me because Microsoft's AppStore didn't do so well the last time for their phone... the only advantage it has has now is Microsoft has forced WinX upgrade on so many people.
Freda was originally created for Windows phone.

Besides, standalone reading apps are pretty niche already on mobile platforms. I imagine it's more so on desktop. There's probably additional overhead cost if the developer offers ad-free versions for sale on their own site and it's somewhat doubtful that additional sales from offering it on the desktop platform will be enough to offset that additional overhead.
