Aura HD Best Kobo-like reader software for PC?

MacEachaidh · 10-14-2016, 01:20 PM

For quick reference-testing of epubs I'm testing (epub 2.0), is ADE the best, most Kobo-like software to use?

Although they're kin, the Kobo's native epub reader and the PC ADE do render some features a bit differently. I've got many features bolted down into a standard template, but there are still often new things I try to do, and need to test. And the simplest solution for that is in easily-loadable software that can simply open the file.

So, is ADE the best solution for this, or is there something else out there?

The only other software I might try would be BlueFire's Windows reader since it's also based on the RMSDK. Don't know if it displays any differently than ADE or Kobo's RMSDK based renderer.

Thanks for that.

I can do a bit of comparing to check it out. I appreciate your thoughts.

Another program that might be worth a try is DataLogics DL reader. They don't seem to have a direct download for it anymore but available in Windows store for Windows 8/8.1/10.
