E Book Preview 5 7 – Ebook Viewer
There's little in the way of quality freeware applications which can create a library and provide a reader for e-books. That all changes with calibre, a free and open source library management and conversion utility for e-book collections.
Calibre is a free e-book manager which can be compared to a program like iTunes, but for e-books. It can connect to your reader device and can convert between various different e-book formats.
E-Book Viewer 5.1 E-Book Viewer (was E-Book Preview) is a top e-book renderer for your Mac. It is very lightweight because it has no heavy library collection-management features, and works exactly like Preview app for e-books. Dec 26, 2020 3) Icecream EPUB Reader Icecream Ebook Reader is easy to use the tool. It helps you to track your reading progress, add notes, translate text, use bookmarks, and more. The tool allows you to read e-books in EPUB, MOBI, CBR, and other readable file formats. The Kindle E-reader device mode does not support preview of books in the older generation Mobi 7 format. We recommend converting your Mobi 7 book to EPUB so that you can preview your books using all the device modes and see if Enhanced Typesetting is supported for your book. The online book viewer for EBSCO eBooks allows users to Zoom content in further than 200%. EPUB content is “reflowable” (meaning it adjusts to the screen size/zoom level) and works particularly well for users with vision impairments; EBSCO’s eBook viewer has been tested with screen magnifiers such as ZoomText and MAGic.
Along with the ability to convert between popular formats, Calibre can also manage your library and sorts them neatly.
Overall, this is an excellent all-round e-book tool which provides many of the functions which are requested by users of different devices.

Navigating by location¶
E-books, unlike paper books, have no concept of pages. You can refer to preciselocations in e-books using the Go to → Location functionality in theviewer controls.
You can use this location information to unambiguously refer to parts of thebooks when discussing it with friends or referring to it in other works. Youcan enter these locations under Go to → Location in the viewercontrols.
There is a URL you can copy to the clipboard and paste into other programsor documents. Clicking on this URL will open the book in the calibre E-book viewer atthe current location.
If you click on links inside the e-book to take you to different parts of thebook, such as an endnote, you can use the Back andForward buttons in the top left corner of the viewer controls.These buttons behave just like those in a web browser.
Reference mode¶
calibre also has a very handy Reference mode. You can turn it onby clicking the Reference mode button in the viewer controls. Onceyou do this, every paragraph will have a unique number displayed at the start,made up of the section and paragraph numbers.
You can use this number to unambiguously refer to parts of the books whendiscussing it with friends or referring to it in other works. You can enterthese numbers in the Go to function to navigate to a particularreference location.
When you select text in the viewer, a little popup bar appears next to theselection. You can click the highlight button in that bar to create ahighlight. You can add notes and change the color of the highlight. On a touchscreen, long tap a word to select it and show the popup bar. Once in highlightmode you can tap the Adjust selection button to change what text isselected, using touch screen friendly selection handles. Dragthe handles to the top or bottom margins to scroll while selecting.
You can use the Highlights button in the viewercontrols to show a separate panel with a list of all highlights in the book,sorted by chapter.

The viewer can read book text aloud. To use it you can simply click theRead aloud button in the viewer controls to start reading book textaloud. The word being currently read is highlighted. Speech is synthesized fromthe text using your operating system services for text-to-speech. You canchange the voice being used by clicking the gear icon in the bar that isdisplayed while Read aloud is active.
You can also read aloud highlighted passages by adding the Read aloud button tothe selection bar in the viewer preferences under Selectionbehavior.
Note
Support for text-to-speech in browsers is very incomplete andbug-ridden so how well Read aloud will work in the in-browserviewer is dependent on how well the underlying browser supportstext-to-speech. In particular, highlighting of current word does not work,and changing speed or voice will cause reading to start again from thebeginning.
Note
On Linux, Read aloud requires Speech Dispatcher to be installed and working.
Note
On Windows, not all installed voices may be visible to the SAPIsub-system that is used for text-to-speech. There are instructions tomake all voices visible.
The E-book viewer has a Hints mode that allows you to click linksin the text without using the mouse. Press the Alt+F key and all linksin the current screen will be highlighted with a number or letter over them.Press the letter on your keyboard to click the link. Pressing the Esckey will abort the Hints mode without selecting any link.
If more than thirty five links are on-screen then some of them will havemultiple letters, in which case type the first and second, or the first andpress Enter to activate. You can also use the Backspace key toundo a mistake in typing.
