What is FBReader

  • FBReader is a popular (30+ million installs) multi-platform ebook reader. We release regular updates for Android and iOS.
  • FBReader uses its own book parser and rendering engine. The engine is lightweight, fast, and highly customisable.
  • FBReader supports many ebook formats, including ePub, mobi, fb2, HTML, RTF, plain text. The primary formats are ePub and fb2.
  • FBReader is not open-source since 2015. For developers, we offer FBReader SDK: a library that allows creating own ebook readers.

For developers

  • If you want to create your own ebook reader on the FBReader engine, use FBReader SDK.
  • The SDK is currently available for Android and iOS.
  • The SDK includes the parser and rendering engine for text formats, i.e. ePub, fb2, mobi, etc. It does not support PDFs.
  • You can download the SDK and develop your app for free. If you decide to release the app, you have to buy the SDK key that removes warnings and unlocks all the features.
