Reading Tab: EPUB, PDF, MOBI & FB2 eBook Reader

Read EPUB, PDF, Kindle and FB2 books in every new tab. Private and offline, with reading stats, highlights and notes.

Open a new tab and you are back on the page where you stopped reading. IMPORTANT AFTER INSTALLING: Chrome may ask whether you meant to change your new tab page ("Change back to Google?"). Choose "Keep it" to keep using Reading Tab. In Microsoft Edge, choose "Keep changes". Reading Tab turns Chrome's new tab page into a full eBook reader and a private library for the books you already own. Drop in an EPUB, a PDF, a Kindle MOBI or AZW3 file, or an FB2 book, and it opens straight away, right inside your browser. Nothing is uploaded, there is no account to create, and it keeps working without an internet connection. It is built by Bookfolio on the same reading engine as the Bookfolio Reader at reader.bookfolio.io, so every feature of that reader is here, plus a library that lives in your new tab.
