Download EPUB Reader Plus for macOS



EPUB Reader Plus 3.0.2 runs happily on any Mac from macOS 10.14 Mojave onward, with native support for both Intel and Apple Silicon machines. It’s a lightweight, no-fuss ebook reader that opens EPUB and MOBI files without wrestling with library imports — just drag a book onto the window and start reading.
What makes this version feel a little smarter is the handful of quality-of-life tweaks that landed alongside the usual bug fixes. The text selection menu is now fully customizable, so you can strip it down to the actions you actually use. Sorting and hiding books got more flexible, and you can assign custom icons to your bookshelf categories — a small touch that makes a messy library feel tidy again. If you’re curious about the AI features, chat history now saves locally, and you can set up custom AI actions that fit how you work.
The core reading tools remain refreshingly straightforward. You’ve got page zoom with Command-plus and Command-minus, quick jumps with Command and the arrow keys, and a sidebar you can hide when you want a cleaner view. Search highlights results right on the page, and when you need something tangible, printing works as expected. The format conversion tools also stick around: flip an EPUB to PDF or turn a MOBI into an EPUB without reaching for a separate converter, and image extraction works for both file types.
Three custom shelves to build in five minutes
After you drag your first few books in, spend five minutes setting up the bookshelf. Create two or three categories you’ll actually use — something like “Reading now,” “Reference,” and “Finished” — and pick custom icons for each. It sounds trivial, but the visual cue makes scanning the shelf much faster than reading labels alone, especially once you’ve piled up dozens of titles.
Also worth doing early: open Preferences and strip the text selection menu down to the three or four actions you reach for most. The default list is generous, but a shorter menu means less hunting when you highlight a passage. If you’re setting up an EPUB Reader Plus torrent macOS workflow, you’ll appreciate how quickly a clean menu lets you mark up newly added files. And don’t skip the reading-history buttons — forward and back navigation works like a browser, so you can jump between chapters without losing your train of thought.
Shortcuts and conveniences you’ll overlook
A few keystrokes that aren’t advertised loudly but make daily reading smoother:
- Pressing
JandKscrolls up and down while reading — no need to move your hand to the arrow keys. - Command with the left and right arrows jumps pages, not just lines, so you can skim a chapter fast.
- The search bar highlights every match on the current page, and tapping through results feels snappy even in longer EPUBs.
- Drag-and-drop works from Finder, but also from a browser download bar or a compressed folder — the app figures out the file type on its own.
And a quiet feature that’s easy to miss: the reading-position memory kicks in automatically. Close the app mid-chapter, reopen it tomorrow, and you’re right back on the same page — no bookmarks required.
