Cool Reader

Feature packed ebook reader for power readers

Cool Reader is a no-nonsense eBook powerhouse that focuses on what matters most: a comfortable, customizable reading experience for virtually any text you throw at it. If you own a large library of ebooks in mixed formats, this is where Cool Reader truly shines.

The app supports an impressive range of formats, including EPUB and MOBI (non‑DRM), FB2, DOC, TXT, RTF, HTML, CHM, PDB, TCR, and more, even when they’re packed inside ZIP archives. A built‑in file browser and “recent books” list make it easy to jump back into your current reads, while OPDS catalog support and integration with the LitRes bookstore help you discover new titles.

Reading itself is highly configurable. You can choose between page-by-page or continuous scroll, enable paper‑like page‑turn animations, and switch instantly between day and night profiles. Fonts, margins, hyphenation, background textures, and even styles via external CSS can all be tailored to your taste. Brightness is adjusted with a simple swipe along the screen edge, which quickly becomes second nature.

Power readers and proofreaders will appreciate advanced bookmarking. You can highlight specific fragments, add comments or corrections, and later export all bookmarks as a text file. Integrated dictionary support and Text‑to‑Speech turn Cool Reader into a flexible study and accessibility tool.

The interface is functional rather than modern, and the huge number of options can feel overwhelming at first. It also does not handle DRM‑protected books, which may be a deal‑breaker if most of your library is locked to specific stores.

Still, for users who value control, broad format support, and a distraction‑free reading environment, Cool Reader remains one of the most capable and versatile ebook readers available.
