Best software reader for PC?
Hey guys.

I forgot my reader at home and I'm away from home for at least a few days. Which PC reader is the best?

Right now, I have Calibre installed, and I use it for conversions and quick previews, but is there another reader that is better for reading novels?

Thanks.

EDIT: My library is in epub and LRF.

Hi

For LRF I would say Calibre’s own reader, for ePub Acrobat Digtial Editions (Calibre’s reader is also not bad).

Good reading,

I just tried the Mobipocket reader, and it couldn't load epubs and LRFs, maybe I missed something.

Can you confirm that it does read those formats?

It's too bad if it doesn't, I looks like a nice reader.

ePub, yes it should as long as they are not Adobe ID encrypted. LRF, no.

You might want to try Adobe Digital Editions also.

Calibre has a really good reader too.

Calibre will convert DRM-free ePub to MOBI. The Windows MobiPocket Reader also does this, but it does not do as good a job as Calibre.

No one has mentioned Sony's own Windows Reader, see Sony's Windows ebook Reader.
