User reviews

Users appreciate that the ePUB Reader add-on correctly displays ePUB files and provides several reading modes with adjustable font size and background color for comfort. However, major drawbacks include the absence of a table of contents, frequent resetting to the start when resizing or reopening, poor customization options especially for dark mode, rendering issues with images, and infrequent updates for Firefox that lag behind other browsers.

Pros

Displays ePUB files correctly with support for images and different reading modes.
Offers several reading modes, including options for font size and background color that help with eye comfort.
Simple and functional for basic ePUB reading needs.

Cons

Lacks a table of contents feature, making it difficult to skip chapters or jump to specific sites.
Frequently jumps back to the beginning of the book when resizing the window or reopening, losing the reader's position.
Inconsistent and outdated updates on Firefox store compared to other browsers, showing a lack of developer attention.
Poor customization options for colors and fonts; dark mode is hard to read due to low contrast.
Issues with rendering images properly, sometimes cutting off parts or not scaling correctly.
