Best E-Reader for the PC?
Hey everyone, what would be the best reader for the PC that can read PDF, mobi and epub?

I really like ADE and Mobireader, but.. I'm not sure that I like the way they sort the series. The seventh novel in a series shouldn't be listed before the first, and so on.

Any recommendations? I use a Nexus 7 as a portable reader, but I'm loaning it to my beloved for a while.

If you're on Windows you could try Sumatra - its a single shot viewer like calibre's, it claims to do PDF, ePub, Mobi, XPS, DjVu, CHM, CBZ and CBR - its free and open source - some calibre users like it.

Thanks Comrade. I have heard of this before, but have not personally used it. I will definitely check it out.

Have you yourself used this before?

Yes.

Do I still use it - nuh.

I was hoping it had a tabbed interface - it doesn't and the developer has no interest in making it so. So I scrapped it.

On Windows I use calibre viewer for epubs and mobi's and xchange for pdfs.
