EPub Reader Recommendation

I'm looking for an ePub reader with fairly specific requirements. It must be capable of:
reading both PDF and ePub
opening multiple documents in tabs
store documents locally in folders (and sub-folders)
highlighting passages of text
Can anyone make any recommendations please. Many thanks.
Jon

hello armstrongthai, extensions that are created for desktop versions of firefox won't run on firefox for android automatically. the developers would have to adapt it for the mobile platform, so you could try approaching them.... unfortunately i don't see any other addons for android that would offer the possibility to display epub files either: https://addons.mozilla.org/android/

EPUB reader

I am looking for an app for an epub reader that can easily highlight text in multiple colors.

Have to suggest a reboot, first.
Then, if you still have the problem, contact the developer. He is very helpful. Some formats are problematic and he can help with those.
Lastly, are the files stripped of DRMs?
Good luck.

Downloading ePub reader for Playbook

We don't use a Blackberry phone. We did, however, buy a Playbook. So if you're in the same position, go ahead and try to buy the ePub reader from this site.
The first step is to install the Blackberry App World plugin, which we've now done on three separate computers and OSs. The second step is to connect your Smartphone, and I presume that's a Blackberry phone. Since we have a Playbook and not a Blackberry phone, we hit a wall. Apparently we're not allowed to buy the app, although I've read that a fair number of Playbook users actually have this app. How did they get it?
Added to this quandary is that I've now read in one of the threads below that ePub reader doesn't work on the Playbook (nor is there a Skype app as shown), and if that's true, it would be quite a blow to the faith we had in Playbook when we bought it in lieu of a Kindle. I'm just thinking ahead here, but there's likely to be an enormous number of upset consumers who fire up Playbooks for the first time on December 25. There might also be a quick abandonment of this product when they see, as we did, that the Playbook is pretty to look at but otherwise fairly disappointing, app-wise.
If anyone has something to offer about these topics, I'd be very grateful.

I paid for and downloaded this app to my playbook. But it never showed up among the apps on my Playbook. When I go to the App World page and look under My World, it shows up like other apps do, but it is no where to be found on the main screen. Anyone know what I may have done wrong, if anything?
The creator's website is of absoutely no help at all.
Now that I paid for this and can't use it, (I can't even find it!!!) any suggestions on how to get refund?
Whoa, this App World is scary when it has your payment info.
Thanks.

Hallo, für einen Kunden soll ich ein Ebook erstellen. Zu diesem Zweck habe ich mir das neue Indesign CC heruntergeladen, weil es verspricht, dass Design zu behalten. Das tut es auch, aber die Schriften werden in einem Epub-Reader ineinander geschoben und der Text wird zumit unlesbar. Verwandle ich das Dateiformat epub in in Kindle-Format .mobil wird der Text ebenfalls nicht korrekt dargestellt. Als Schrifttyp habe ich eine einfache Arial gewählt. Wie lässt sich das Problem vermeiden? Danke

Hallo Willi, vielen Dank noch mal! Es erklärt aber immer noch nicht, warum die einzelnen Wörter ineinander geschoben werden. Zumal ja zum Umwandeln in andere Formate mir bisher nur Calibre bekannt ist. Zumindest erklärt es, warum viele Ebooks sehr einfach gestaltet sind und meißt nur aus Text bestehen. Für hübsche Ebooks mit gestalterischen Ansprüchen ist die Zeit wohl noch nicht gekommen Falls mal jemand ein Ebook für Kindle-Geräte gestaltet so kann ich empfehlen, den Kindle-Comic-Creator zu benutzen und einfach die normal PDF zu importieren, hierbei bleiben alle gestalteten Elemente an der gewünschten Stelle erhalten.
Besten Dank dem Forum!

I'm using the free epub reader, the file I imported says "Due to an error in the ePub file, the table of contents can't be displayed correctly.

For experts: The NCX-file is not a valid xml-file..Can you help me? Donna

Hi,
It's actually not the first time I have seen this issue, please refer to this thread below:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/01bbe40c-f522-4148-a7cc-86303da5416d/your-file-could-not-be-printed-due-to-an-error?forum=excel
Here are some suggestions:
1. If this issue only occurs to one Workbook, copy the file contents and paste them to another new Workbook, try to print and check the result.
2. Maybe Excel is configured to run in Compatibility Mode. Right click on the Excel shortcut, click Properties -> Compatibility tab -> If Excel is configured to run in compatibility mode, untick it and click OK.
3. There may be some corruption in the Excel install, try to repair Office from Control Panel -> Programs and Features.
I hope the information is helpful to you in this scenario.

PPub - A light ePub reader made with pygtk

Hello everyone,
I got my hands on some epub files two days ago but I didn't find any reader I liked so I decided to write my own. And here it is:
Screenshot
Git Repository
PKGBUILD
Dependencies:
-python2
-unzip
-gobject-introspection
-python2-gobject
-gtk3
-libwebkit3
Bookmarks are matched with the MD5 hash of each book so they are valid even if you rename or move your books.
In case you have a book that is not working, please extract your epub file like a zip and send me any .opf and .ncx files it has inside. I will do my best to fix the problem then.
So far it's perfectly usable but it could use more features, so please post your ideas here.
Thanks for trying!
Changelog:
21 Nov:
-Now using python's zipfile instead of unzip.
-Updated PKGBUILD for new dependencies.
19 Nov:
-Better error handling.
7 Nov:
-Added icons and a .desktop file.

Known bugs:
-Cover pages don't work.
-Links inside book pages work but they mess up the current chapter value. The chapter changes but the application is unaware of it, so it changes back later.

It doesn't seem to work at all, at least with the ones I tried. Now, a screen comes up, but it's blank and none of the navigation commands seem to do anything.
Here's an epub I created that has embedded fonts. (The work is public domain.) I made this by hand by hand-writing the XHTML and XML files and hand-zipping them up (in the appropriate way for the epub spec.) It passes epubcheck, so should work:
tlp.epub
Here's another one I made, but not by hand, but instead by converting through calibre (another public domain title). This one doesn't have embedded fonts, and doesn't pass epubcheck. (I don't think calibre's ever do, though... still, you'll want to support them.)
imp.epub
When I try to open that one, it says "Error opening file: No such file or directory" in the ppub window.
(I'm actually mostly interested in your viewer to make sure that epubs I make are compatible with it.)
I also tried it with the NET bible epub, with no luck. (No, before you ask, I'm not religious... I just figured that was probably a fairly standard book people will want it to work with.) It has embedded fonts, and passes epubcheck.

Too much to ask? Windows 8 epub reader + Adobe DRM...

Hello all,
Is it just too much to ask to read an Adobe DRM protected epub document in a nice metro-friendly Windows 8 interface (which Adobe Digital Editions most certainly is not)?
I have spent hours today looking for that little Holy Grail The only Windows applications I could find that would open Adobe DRM epubs (in addition to Adobe Digital Editions, of course) was Neosoar and Copia, neither of which qualify as a nice metro-friendly interface. Don't get me wrong, lots of nice Windows epub readers out there e.g. Freda, Kobo, Calibre but they'll be damned if they're going to interface with Adobe DRM!
I've bought the book; I just want to read it without fighting Adobe DRM at every turn. Any light on the horizon?
David.
...and what about Microsoft Reader? Did they even mean to publish that? My ear wax provides more utility than that app.

Is there any built in software for reading EPUB. In iTunes or iMac ?
Is there a kind of plug in for iTunes that let you read EPUB files ?
If nothing is provided, what woul be the best alternative ?
What's the best software for reading EPUB on an iMac ?
Many thanks.
Bests,

This forum is for questions from those managing sites on iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. You'll be most likely to get help with this issue if you ask in the general Mac OS X forums.

RSS reader recommendation

Slighlty off topic sorry.
Can anyone suggest a free RSS reader that copes with SDN's authentication requirements.
I really like the ability to monitor this forum through RSS rather than email, however my current reader doesn't like retrieving the full posts in-place. I have to logon through IE before it will show.

Thanks Rich
But that was my original reader but I couldn't get it to work with SDN at all. Do you use it?
I'm now using FeedReader3. Which is nearly there. Shows me so many words in a preview pane but can't open the full post.

USB Hub / External Card Reader recommendations?

Afternoon,
I have recently purchased a late 2012 27" iMac and would like to add some peripherals.
I am looking for a USB 3.0 hub and a multi card reader.
I have seen lots of posts about USB hubs (the joys of a google search) that either arent recognised as 3.0 or are on American sites. (Am based in the UK).
I know there is a card reader on the back of the iMac, but only for SD and I would prefer to not have to keep turning the monitor round to reach it. (I still have xD cards that I use).
Without being too picky, I dont want 'ugly' units. Dont want to make a beautiful machine look ugly when surrounded by lots of horrible looking external add-ons.
Does anyone have any recomendations of hubs / readers, or even ones to steer clear of?
Thanks very much.
Karen

Thanks for trying but ...
No, I can't see the drive when booted up with Cmd R.
I don't have a USB hub to test on.
I'm just tried resetting the PRAM as you suggested.
No change.
Any other ideas gratefully accepted, otherwise, I can book into the genius bar thingy - no idea if that will be of use. I work in IT so I'm fairly handy though there are many mac specific commands & tricks I'm not aware of.
