Read and enjoy your favorite eBooks and comic books with the help csBooks, a free and cross-platform, Electron-based app. #EBook Reader #PDF Reader #AudioBook App #EBook #Reader #E-book
At first glance, you might be tempted to think that csBooks is your typical, hum-drum eBook reader. While it can help you read eBooks, csBooks is so much more.
csBooks is a modern and pretty competent smart book manager that can help you organize your eBook collection, read eBooks, manga, and comic books, listen to audio books (more on that a bit later) and can also double as a typical PDF reader.
One of the best aspects of csBooks is that it's designed to work the most popular desktop platforms out there, namely Linux, Windows, and macOS.
Sadly, it's not open-source, and purists won't be particularly happy about the fact that it's made with ElectronJS, VueJS, EpubJS, and PdfJS nad written in most Typescript with a bit of JavaScript coding for flexibility.
Don't be discouraged, since csBooks is a great app despite using a lot of web techonologies under the hood.
For starters, csBooks comes with support for a plethora of formats such as PDF, EPUB, MOBI, DJVU, CBR, CBZ, and various audio book-related formats as well.
The app automatically generates thumbnails, has two default GUI modes (Light and Dark), and provides with various ways to organize your books based on multiple criteria (such as based on genre, based on format, the usage of folders and collections, etc.).
Of course, you also get support for annotations and bookmarks, responsive book thumbnails, as well audio book support (the app supports Librivox public domain audio books).
csBooks may for everyone's taste, but it sure could very well be for everyone's needs. You may not like the fact that it's an Electron-based application, but csBooks has everything it needs to be one of the best free eBook management/reader apps out there.
