JustReader vs Paper Quest

JustReader is a free, native reader for Mac, iPad, and iPhone. Open a book file and read it the way it should look — one book at a time, no library to manage, no account, no ads. OPENS WHAT YOU HAVE EPUB, FB2, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, Markdown, HTML, TXT, RTF and DOC/DOCX (on the Mac), including inside ZIP and RAR archives. Chapters, footnotes and pictures come through, and the app works out the encoding by itself. Manga and comics in CBZ and CBR open as two-page spreads, and Japanese manga reads right to left. Chinese and Japanese books open too, old encodings like GB18030 and Shift_JIS included. Furigana sits above the kanji. THE FULL READING EXPERIENCE Nine typefaces and 41 themes across five palettes, plus Typewriter and Terminal. Continuous scroll, paged, or two-page spread. Real hyphenation in Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, and Greek. Read Aloud with word-by-word highlighting. On-device translation — nothing leaves your device. Chapter navigation, in-book search, an image gallery, and a fullscreen mode with multiple clock styles. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No analytics, no telemetry, no tracking, no ads. Files stay on your device. WANT YOUR LIBRARY TO FOLLOW YOU? ContinuousReader is the full version: an iCloud-synced library with your reading position to the exact paragraph on every device, bookmarks and notes, OPDS catalogs, reading statistics, folders, and more. Free.
