GUIDES AND TIPS FOR YOUR BOOK-READING EXPERIENCE

Mac
- Adobe Digital Editions It works great as an ePub and PDF reader, regardless of whether you want to use it to manage your library or not. But it’s good at that too. Plus, it’s free – and uses a fraction of the ram other eBook readers use when reading books on your Mac.
- Kitabu Take iBooks, strip out all of the fancy UI, and you’ve almost got Kitabu. It’s a bare-bones free eBook reader that you can download on the App Store, and it’ll only take up a little over 2Mb on your hard drive. In exchange for that, it’ll give you the simplest ePub eBook reading experience you could ask for.
