LeafReader opens EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2, PDF and comics on your Windows desktop. Build a real library, highlight what matters, and search across everything you have read.
Everything you need to keep a personal library, and nothing that gets in the way of the page.
EPUB, MOBI, AZW, AZW3, FB2, PDF, CBZ and CBR. Add a file and LeafReader picks the right reading experience for it automatically.
No account, no sign-in, no telemetry. LeafReader never connects to a server, so your books and reading habits stay on your computer.
Highlight passages, attach notes, drop bookmarks and organise them with tags. Export everything as Markdown whenever you want it elsewhere.
Remember a passage but not the book? Search the full text of every title at once, or find any phrase inside the book you are reading.
Five themes from Warm Paper to Night, four typefaces, and adjustable size and spacing. Read in clean pages or continuous scroll.
PDF pages keep a real text layer, so you can select, copy, search and highlight inside them instead of staring at flat images.
Three steps from a folder of files to a library you enjoy opening.
Pick individual files or point LeafReader at a folder holding hundreds. Large imports keep running in the background while you read.
Covers, titles and authors are read from the files themselves. Group titles into collections, mark favorites and track what you have finished.
Set the theme and type to your liking, highlight as you go, and come back to any book exactly where you left off.
The things people ask before installing.
No. LeafReader does not connect to any server. Your books, highlights, notes and reading progress are stored in a folder on your own PC and are never uploaded, synced or analysed.
Neither. There is no sign-up, no login and no subscription. The app works exactly the same with your network turned off.
EPUB, MOBI, AZW, AZW3, FB2, PDF, CBZ and CBR. That covers most ebooks, documents and comic archives you are likely to own.
LeafReader opens files you have on disk that are not protected by DRM. Books still locked to a store's DRM cannot be opened by any third-party reader, including this one.
Yes. Every highlight, note and bookmark can be exported as Markdown, so you can move your thinking into any note-taking app you already use.
No. Books appear on your shelf immediately and are processed in the background, so you can start reading right away. If you close the app mid-import, it resumes where it stopped.
None at all. There is no telemetry, no crash reporting and no analytics of any kind. See the Privacy Policy for the full detail.
