Reader

Reader is an ebook reader based on pure javascript renderers. It works for publications formatted according to the following standards:

For Epub Reader uses the futurepress epub.js renderer to provide near-native looks, especially when used full-screen. Turn pages by pressing the left/right hand side of the screen/window or using the cursor keys (if you have those), use the sidebar to browse through chapters or bookmarks and add annotations.

PDF is handled by Mozilla's pdf.js renderer in combination with a custom reader app to enable side-by-side display, batch search and more. Controls are like those used in the Epub renderer with a few exceptions, e.g. night mode has not been implemented yet.

CBR and CBZ are supported using a custom renderer inspired by balaclark's work. As with Epub, books can be navigated using the keyboard as well as mouse or touch navigation. Reader generates a visual index of all pages, show in the sidebar (thumbnail generation can be disabled for low-memory and/or -speed devices). As CBx files are often of varying quality, a set of image enhancement filters are provided.

See README for more exhaustive information on features and potential misfeatures of this app.

Tested it on Windows Chrome with a CBZ, a CBR, and an epub, and all were displayed flawlessly.
