- Rated 5 out of 5by Kittybriton, 3 years agoMy initial frustration was relieved when I learned (RTFM) that there is a toolbar button to open locally stored epubs, making my reading MUCH easier and more enjoyable. Five star rating gladly granted.

- Rated 4 out of 5by <3, 4 years agoI think it's a really neat addon! However, whenever I do want to download an EPUB (which isnt too often) I don't have the choice to choose to download it. Also, sometimes it just doesn't load what I'm trying to read.

No page numbers, no settings, cant even scroll the pages using a mouse. - Rated 3 out of 5by DarkRiDDeR, 4 years ago
- Rated 1 out of 5by Gustavo, 4 years agoA extensão, me parece, aplica background-color: white por default, e acaba com qualquer box colorido que o e-book possa ter.
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 13475572, 4 years agoOnly thing i intensely dislike about this reader is that if you mess up and close the tab, or have a crash, and you don't recall which ePub you're reading, there's no way to go back to it. Surely there should be a way to write a local state file that would remember the previous opened file and position. Setting a bookmark is fine, but doesn't solve this issue.
If that were solved, it would be 5*.
The other issue is that if highlighting and selecting text, if you're heading towards the margin rather than away and you go a tad too far it will can it as a next/previous page activation, even though there is no click. Easy to recover from, but annoying. - Rated 1 out of 5by Firefox user 14348872, 4 years ago
- Rated 4 out of 5by Firefox user 16814112, 4 years agoIt's a nice extension that i would recommend. However, when i open a web adress that ends with .epub, the extension will intercept and try to open it (with error, of course).
Is there a way to temporarily disable this interception? - Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15691273, 4 years ago

- Rated 3 out of 5by Corentin, 4 years agoIt works well to open files from a web link (HTTP://...). However, if I try to open local files (local hard drive or local network), I get endless "open with..." dialogs.
I found a dirty fix : when I open a file from the web, the address always starts with "moz-extension://697be157-ddf5-4bbd-bd58-56b42dd47af5/reader.html", so I bookmarked this address, and it launches a "blank" epubreader interface, from there I can click the top gray "open" menu, so I can browse my local computer manually. It would be a lot nicer if I could just double-click files from Windows Explorer.Developer response
posted 4 years agoThe way you describe to read local epub files is the standard way. You can open the "open" dialog via the EPUBReader toolbar button. Unfortunately, due to Firefox security restrictions it's not possible to open epub files directly from the file explorer. - Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 15145534, 4 years agoIt would be nice to make use of the speech synthesizer capacities to read the book out loud with speed controls
