2022. FBReader comes back to Windows
Eight years after its previous release, FBReader returns to Windows. The new version, FBReader 2.0, incorporates most of the features found in the iOS and Android apps but is specifically designed for desktops and laptops. The app is compatible with Windows 10 (build 17763 and higher) and Windows 11. Currently, FBReader is only available for Intel 64-bit architecture, though it also operates on Windows 11 Arm64 via emulation. The app does not support Windows 10 Arm. The updated version features a redesigned interface, light and dark themes and now includes Ukrainian interface localization. The new rendering engine uses CSS-defined colors (which can be disabled in settings). The preferences dialogue includes options for bookmark styles. A new feature allows hiding the toolbar in fullscreen mode and image brightness in dark mode is automatically reduced. Additionally, the developers have added an “Import multiple files” option in the library window.
