Quality app with lots of features
I tried this app primarily because I was looking for a solution for syncing my library and reading progress between my iPhone and an Android eink device. Syncing works great!
I was initially put off by the default appearance of the reading mode, but a bit of tinkering in the extensive settings got things tailored to my liking. I do wish basic text settings like font and margins were available directly from the reading view so you could see the results as you adjust them, but a few trips back and forth to the settings eventually got things looking very Kindle-like, which I prefer. I appreciated that almost everything could be tweaked, even the appearance of the progress indicator.
Most importantly, this app gets the basics right, and on so many platforms it’s kind of insane. I’ve installed FBReader on Android, iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Linux. It’s probably not the absolute best reading app on any platform, but it’s the only good option that is available nearly everywhere. Books and progress sync fast, and use your own Google Drive space so they don’t charge a subscription. Despite its somewhat ugly defaults and strange UI choices, I’m grateful this app exists.
Premium
I purchased premium several years ago. The proof of which I cannot find. Without that proof, do you keep records of people who have purchased premium? I had my entire collection of books on FB reader, which were in the hundreds, now I can’t get any more than 10 books. All but 10 are grayed out. It just happened. This is very frustrating.
How do I get premium back. How do I get all those books back.
Thanks for any response.
A World-Class App?
In a world where cheap knock-off ebook readers abound, this one stands out like a shining beacon of competency. No greedy “subscriptions!” Yay! Just an honest price for a great program. There really is no downside to this functional, versatile app and it’s well designed user interface. It took a LONG time to find the best. You don’t have to. Just try the free version and you’ll be buying the full version in no time. But …
In spite of all the things it does well, there is one glaring feature omission: something it apparently doesn’t do at all. It does not read to you. For the price, this is puzzling.
It’s even more puzzling in that the iPhone contains literally dozens of excellent voices. It can even be configured so that screens are audibly read to you. So then, developers, I ask you: How hard can it be to bridge your excellent app to the iPhone native voice synthesis features and create an ebook reader that actually reads? And why has this not been introduced? We want it. Take an already great product and make it world class. But don’t raise the price. For that price it should already have text to speech capability.

What is with the horrible control
It is such a pain trying to open a book from a list to read.there help section useless you that would be a frequently asked question. But this keeps getting worse as time goes on.
It is not enough
Now, it is just a demonstration, compared with Android.
Great reader overall
I would give this reader all five stars if it were not for one annoying bug that was not fixed during last three or four updates:
when I use the phone in portrait mode to read a book, if I accidentally turn it into landscape mode, the reader switches to the new orientation smoothly. However, when I turn it back into portrait mode, the page is misformatted with margins too wide, and page corrupted as a result. it takes two page turns for the problem to correct itself. Therefore, I am forced to go back a page, and then come back to the original page before I can continue reading. This is seem to be a pretty obvious problem, and should be easy to fix, but that has not happened. it seems like a minor problem, but it can be quite annoying when it happens a dozen times per day. Hopefully they will fix it in one of the next releases.

Great no frills reader, but with room to improve
Really great simple reader - the menu and options are unobtrusive and easy to navigate. Really great margin and spacing customization which a lot of the other epub readers dont have. My biggest hang up is that there doesnt seem to be a way to mark read and unread book or mark them as completed.
Otherwise, a really strong and great app!
Was great until before the they added ads
I used fbreader for years until until the ads started. That was a show stopper for me.
