Wishing you a peaceful and joyful 2025 filled with delightful reading!

This update brings a significant improvement: FBReader no longer requires “all files” access. Instead, the app will request permission only for your designated library folders.

Books located outside these folders may become temporarily inaccessible. To resolve this, you can manually grant access to these files through the library.

The beta version is currently available on this site and will be released on Google Play in the new year. Please report any issues you encounter.

The major stable release 3.8 is coming in January 2025.

The October update addresses two issues related to PDFs. First, file type detection was failing for some files, preventing FBReader from opening certain PDFs. Additionally, a mix-up occurred between the table of contents for PDF and other file types, as reported by some users. This occasionally caused an incorrect table of contents to display when opening an ePub book after a PDF.

As always, this version also includes a few UI improvements.

We’re excited to announce the release of FBReader 1.2 for iOS, featuring major improvements. To ensure a smooth experience, we’re rolling it out gradually and expect it to reach all users within the next seven days.

In this update:

• Full compatibility with iOS 18 and iPhone 16 devices
• Support for Readium LCP (DRM-protected ePub files)
• Upgraded rendering engine, now aligned with our apps on other platforms
• Minor UI enhancements, with notable improvements to the night mode
• Option to share anonymous usage data (you’ll be prompted for consent)

In the September update:

• The app now uses image sizes specified in CSS
• Error messages have been made clearer
• Minor improvements to the UI and security
