Ebook download free pc

Ebooks provide one of the most convenient ways to read on digital devices like Kindle, mobile phones, tablets, laptops, desktops, etc. In fact, ebooks have almost become a suitable alternative for most of us to read material from novels to educational content. The popularity of dedicated devices like Kindle are a proof for that.

Ebooks are mostly available in PDF, ePub and Mobi format. While Windows supports PDF files, it doesn’t natively support the ePub format. Here are some of the best ebook readers for Windows.

1. Sumatra Reader

Sumatra is a popular, free, lightweight, and portable PDF and ebook reader for Windows 10. Apart from the regular Ebook format .epub, Sumatra also supports a variety of other file formats like PDF, MOBI, CHM, XPS, DjVu, CBZ and CBR. Being a simple application, the user interface itself is pretty minimal.

However, the Sumatra reader lacks some advanced features like bookmarking, highlighting, etc., which most users take for granted when reading ebooks. That being said, Sumatra is a great choice if you are looking for a capable and lightweight application that just works.

2. Icecream Ebook Reader

Icecream Ebook Reader is a dedicated ebook reader for your Windows desktop. Along with the ebook formats like .epub and .mobi, Icecream also supports other popular formats like FB2, PDF, etc. The free version of the app is pretty limited but lets you track your reading progress, add bookmarks, categorize ebooks, take notes on certain sections of the ebook, change the font size and type, etc. Moreover, being a win32 application, you can install it on almost any Windows version from Vista and up.

If you are a regular ebook reader, do give Icecream Ebook Reader a try and see if it fits your needs.
