Booklover is a highly responsive and robust eBook reader. It excels at handling PDFs, manga, and scanned books.
The metadata-driven library management system makes it easy to organize and enjoy a large collection of books in PDF, ZIP/CBZ, and RAR/CBR formats.
Seamlessly integrated with iCloud Drive, books in the iCloud Drive/Booklover folder automatically appear in the app’s library and can be downloaded on demand.
In the library, you can organize books by genres and arrange them using various bibliographic details such as title, author, publisher, and more.
With the search field and powerful Library Navigator, you can quickly locate a book among thousands in your collection.
Customize your reading experience with settings for each book, including page layout, transition axis and style, cropping, filters, progress direction, background, and more.
