EPUBReader is a Firefox addon which let you read ePub-files just in the browser. You don't need to install additional software!
If you click on a link to an ePub-file, you are normally prompted by the Firefox "save as" dialog. With EPUBReader installed, the ePub-file is downloaded, processed and directly displayed ready to read!
An ePub-file is essentially an archive of HTML files. So why not read ePub-files with a program which is specialized in displaying HTML-files and many people have already installed? That's the idea which lead to the creation of EPUBReader as a Firefox addon. It runs on every platform Firefox does (Windows, MacOS X, Linux).
New: EPUBReader is running now on Maemo (N810, N900)! Check here for more details.
EPUBReader is available in 23 different languages: Catalan, Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Lithuanian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazilian), Portuguese (European), Russian, Simplified Chinese, Spanish, Swedish, Traditional Chinese, Turkish.
Your language not listed? It would be great, if you help with the translation, it just takes about 45 minutes. Please contact me here.
