I use SumatraPDF on linux with wine. If you just want a good reader nothing comes close, sadly.

I just discovered Foliate[0,1], which is a very small reader (252kb, deb) for .epub, .mobi, .azw, and .azw3 files. It's based Epub.js[2]. I was looking for a standalone epub reader (wanted to avoid the document management stuff) and stumbled across this gem.

It's performed very well on the epubs I've tossed at it.

Might I suggest you try PDF-XChange Editor? https://www.tracker-software.com/product/downloads This is an incredibly capable product, and free for both personal and commercial use. Some features are unlocked by licensing, but there's even an option to hide those if you have no need for them.


Wow. That's really a sweet reader. I usually use FoxIt Reader but I think I gonna stick with Sumatra at least for a few days to give it a proper test.
