Booklover - eBook Reader
iOS Universel / Livres
Booklover is a highly responsive, robust eBook reader with a rich user interface. It works especially well with PDFs, manga, and scanned books.
The metadata-driven library management makes it easy to find and enjoy a large number of books in PDF, ZIP/CBZ, RAR/CBR formats.
Seamlessly integrated with iCloud Drive, books in the iCloud Drive/Booklover folder automatically appear in the app's library and can be downloaded on-demand.
In the library, you can organize your books by genres, arrange them in order using various bibliographic information such as title, author, publisher, and more.
With the search field and the powerful Library Navigator, you can quickly locate a book from among thousands in your library.
Customize your reading experience with various settings for each book, including page layout, transition axis and style, cropping, filters, progress direction, background, and more.
Booklover automatically extracts metadata from file names or PDFs and also allows in-app manual edits as needed.
We're dedicated to creating a digital reading experience for the modern era.
