logo太小看不清，虽然独立出来了，但是可阅读界面弄的太小，极不方便。

Best e-book reader for Windows tablet device!

This is the one of the best epub readers for chrome I've ever used. I've tried many, but not a single one of them fulfilled my simple requiremens: full page view without hiding any part of the screen, being able to adjust the width of the content, and font size control. These are the basics. The only thing this app misses is double page view. If it is possible, there's nothing more I want from this app. It will be perfect.
