EPUB & TXT reader

Program introduction

A Windows reader built with WinUI 3 and WebView2. Focus on the document while tailoring layout, text spacing and background colors. Reading positions are saved and restored automatically.

Who it is for

  • Windows users reading both EPUB and TXT in one application
  • Readers who prefer facing pages and detailed typography and color settings

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Explore the key features.

Three reading layouts

Switch between scrolling, single-page and facing-page views with the top view-mode button. Move automatically between chapters.

Typography controls

Choose a system font or enter one, and adjust font size, line and paragraph spacing, margins and facing-page gaps. Set alignment, 0–3em indentation and -1–3px letter spacing.

Themes & custom colors

Choose Light, Sepia, Cream, Green, Blue or Dark themes, or set custom background, text and accent colors.

Contents, search & bookmarks

Jump through the table of contents, search words in the document and manage bookmarks. Resume at your saved position when reopening.

Mouse, touch & keyboard

Navigate page views by clicking or tapping the left/right areas, scrolling the wheel, or using PageUp/Down and arrows. Use Ctrl+F to search and Ctrl+, for view settings.

TXT chapter analysis

Configure automatic chapter detection to read long TXT files in navigable sections.

IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE

Ways to use this program.

Read a long novel your way

Import an EPUB, choose scrolling or page views, and adjust type size, line spacing and theme. Reopen the book to continue from the saved position.

Review TXT by chapter

Import your own TXT manuscript and configure automatic chapter detection. Use contents and search to review scenes and words. This is a reading workflow, not a text editor.

Review an ebook in facing-page view

Open an EPUB exported from Txt2Epub or NovelStudio and inspect its text and navigation in facing-page view. This does not replace full EPUB standards validation.
