When Bookvisor first launched (I believe it was on WP7, for reasons that I will explain), the only way to get a book into the app was to create a Bookvisor account on some server hosted in Russia and then upload your books to their server so that they could be pulled down to your phone. I suppose they've gotten better (though their book rendering still leaves a lot to be desired, which is sad given that rendering is everything to an ebook reader), but I just don't trust them. It's an excellent app, best ebook reader I've ever used.īookvisor, on the other hand, really rubbed me the wrong way when they first launched. Want to write your own ebook?

The free version of Icecream Ebook Reader is quick and very easy to use, but only really suitable for recreational reading. Premium features include importing multiple ebooks simultaneously, adding notes, editing metadata, and copying text. Unfortunately, some of the options you can see in the menus are only available if you pay for the Pro version. The reader itself is similar to the Kindle app in appearance, with one-click (or tap) buttons for changing font size, color theme (day, night, or sepia), and viewing the table of contents. One particularly handy feature is the ability to archive and export your ebooks ideal if you use more than one PC and don’t want the hassle of importing your books twice. It supports EPUB, MOBI, PDF and FB2 ebook formats, and once you’ve imported your books they’re arranged in a neat bookshelf with a choice of viewing options. Icecream specializes in smart, no-frills software, and Icecream Ebook Reader is no exception.
