User reviews

Users find ePub Reader to be a responsive and straightforward extension with many useful customization options, especially appreciated on Windows tablets. While it generally works well, some report that the top settings bar takes up excessive space and reduces the reading area. The interface can be confusing at first, and support for multi-level contents is limited. Users would like a double page view and better new window behavior. Overall, it is favored over other Chrome epub readers despite minor usability issues.

Pros

Simple and straightforward to use after understanding the interface
Provides many options but works well out of the box
Responsive and suitable for Windows tablet devices
Allows content width and font size adjustments
Unique for supporting features needed for full page view without hiding parts of the screen

Cons

Top settings bar occupies too much space, reducing reading area
Interface is somewhat confusing initially
Limited support for multi-level table of contents
No double page view option
New window mode lacks clear borders and can be confusing

Recent reviews

Does the job, and looks great. Very straightforward to use. One of the 1-star reviews complained that the top settings bar occupies too much space, but the intention is clearly that you choose your settings for the viewer, and then hit the triangle on the right to minimize the settings bar. It works well if you take a moment to understand the interface.

设置又不用常改，提供个顶栏就够了，干嘛占那么多空间？加上下面的进度栏，阅读空间只剩2/3。而且目录也有问题，似乎只支持一级目录，一些带二级目录的就不行（第一册：第一章、第二章；第二册：第一章、第二章）这样。

I have tried a few EPUB readers and so far I like this one the most.

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

ePub Reader requires a few sensitive permissions. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk impact analysis details

Critical Allows access to all websites, posing a significant security risk as it can monitor and modify data from any visited site.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that a Chrome extension may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Chrome extension reputation on Chrome Web Store, the amount of time the Chrome extension has been around, and other signals about the Chrome extension. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing a Chrome extension.

ePub Reader has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
