FBReader for Mac is out
Great news! FBReader 2.0β8 for Mac is now available from Mac App Store.
That means FBReader is now available for three major desktop OS: Mac OS, Windows, and Linux. The reading mode is more or less complete, as well as the library view, including the cloud sync.
We are working on missing features, like network catalogues integration, multiple books operation, etc.
FBReader came back to Windows
FBReader 2.0β7 for Windows published on Microsoft Store. The app works on Windows 10 and 11. Still not the final 2.0 release; however, the app is stable and ready to use.
Synchronously, we release the same version for Linux on the Snap Store.
The package for Mac will be ready in a week or two.
