Best reader in Windows for epub
Which is the best reader in Windows for epub?

I generally use Adobe Editions but I have problems installing in my office laptop

@teotjunk - "...best reader in Windows for epub?" is a subjective judgement, but FWIW I like the Calibre Viewer best of all - but its quite far from my 'dream reader'.

If the problems with installing ADE on your Office Laptop relate to Corporate IT lockdown policies then you'd probably have the same problems with the alternatives such Calibre or Sumatra etc.

If you can install browser extensions you could try one of the in-browser EPUB Readers such as Readium or EPUBReader.

I'd agree that calibre's ebook-viewer is a good choice on either Mac or Win if the computer is used in a mouse/keyboard configuration. In a pure touch environment on Windows the UI is too small to work well. One of the Modern/Universal interface readers may be a better choice. I like Book Bazaar reader in my Windows tablet. Others like Freda which is rather good.

Calibre Portable might be usable in such situations as it does not require an install and if used on an USB thumb drive it can be easily removed when not in use.

Adobe Editions work perfectly when I install in admin account, just not in user account

I can install all other apps without any problem

I have found Sony reader excellent I just prefer Adobe Editions
