Foliate – simple and modern GTK eBook viewer

Summary

Foliate is a beautifully crated eBook reader. The developer has put a lot of effort in ensuring its easy to navigate around eBooks.

The software offers a great range of features with a distraction-free reading experience that lets the interface fade out of view to enable the reader can concentrate on reading.

There’s other features included in the program which may be important to you. For example, there’s a quick dictionary lookup using Wiktionary and Wikipedia, translation of text using Google Translate, and support for touch screens.

Foliate receives a strong recommendation from us. We would go as far to say that it’s currently the best open source eBook reader available.
