Excellent eBook manager for Windows

Whether you want to read eBooks on your mobile device or from your desktop, Mobipocket Reader Desktop is the application for you.

Organize your eBook library, collect RSS feeds and your personal eDocs all in one place. Mobipocket Reader Desktop is a flexible and intuitive program, and it's one of the best desktop eBook readers you will find. What makes the eBook features great, is firstly that you can import pretty much any eBook format, which many other readers don't allow.

When reading an eBook, there's full screen mode, you can alter the font, color and background as well as view in full screen mode. Text can be highlighted, nodes added and links imported too. It feels really flexible and genuinely pleasant to use. There are a variety of page views available, and page turning can be done with the cursor keys, space bar or mouse.

The RSS reader is useful, although it's not as well organized as Google's web reader. Stories are opened as if in a browser too, so you see the actual web page, not reformatted text. the search function in Mobipocket Reader Desktop works really well.

The only poor aspect of Mobipocket Reader Desktop is that the dictionary feature only works if you download a one from the Mobipocket eBookstore.

If you want to read books on your PC, Mobipocket Reader Desktop is an excellent app for doing so.

    Softonic

    In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

    Clean

    It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

    What does this mean?

    We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

    Warning

    This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

    Why is the software program still available?

    Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

    What is a false positive?

    It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

    We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

    Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
