Description from store
EBook Offline Reader for Chrome is an offline enabled app that lets you open and read epub ebook files. This app runs anywhere you have chrome installed. It's especially handy on a chromebook, because it lets you read your ebooks even when you're offline.
Update: Oct 10, 2014
- Allow opening epub file from within the app
- Migrate to new chrome.sockets API
- Use new epub.js library
This app lets you open "epub" ebook files with ChromeOS file browser by just double clicking on the file. It registers the filetype "epub" Perhaps in the future it will handle other ebook types.
Open source: https://github.com/kzahel/ebook-offline-chrome
Based on epub.js

- (2023-05-06) Sharron Murray: Takes a long time to load my travel guide and the hyperlinks don't work. The quality of the pages and the photos are good, but both my library app and kindle work much better than this.
- (2022-10-10) thph: Can't jump to a particular page - have to scroll through *all* previous pages and it takes time to load pages. If you're on page 875, you'll be scrolling for a *long* time. I'm only on page 50 of a textbook and it's already annoying. If you reopen a book, it starts at the beginning and not where you left off. Cuts the end off long equations or math expression. Hyperlinks don't work. Can't change size. Can't invert black and white.

- (2021-06-05) Salena Wilks: Took some tries but it now works well for me.
- (2021-03-25) Alexis Johnson: I think this app would help anyone. Maybe you just need to learn how to use the app and it'll get better. Promise.

- (2020-10-01) Tiyah Yisrael: It works well enough, although I wish it'd bookmark pages.
- (2020-09-13) Michael Duffy: It works for me. I appreciate the effort the developer put into the app.
- (2020-08-27) D Venka: I loved it! I tried reading Warriors on so many different platforms, and they didn't work. Then, I downloaded THIS, and I could read all I ever wanted. My thirst for Warrior Cats knowledge has been quenched because of this whimsical creation!
- (2020-08-26) Gabriela Hernandez: does not work
- (2020-08-12) Brenda Haney: works great but I sill prefer a real book. Problem - when you download a series of books they load into one area, you can get into another book unless you hit the forward key until the end of the book your are on. Example, I get logged out of reader and go back in and want the page I was on, I have to start from the very beginning and hit the forward button through all the pages I already read to get where I want. Frustrating.
- (2020-08-08) A. Akenou: Works just fine. Serves its purpose. I like it.
- (2020-07-07) Kristal Gallegos: i loved it
- (2020-04-01) Geekay-Egeni Vanessa: I liked this app and found it very helpful. However there is a need for an upgrade. There should be a bookmark to indicate where i stopped reading and to continue reading.
- (2020-02-14) Jayla hall: I used it a lot and it was very helpful.
- (2020-02-13) Hansly Saw: Nice and simple app.
- (2020-02-12) Thilde Jørgensen: I love it - it's amazing for reading ebooks. Though it stretches the books in some parts :(
- (2020-01-05) judy ferrell: I don't like that i have to find my page every single time. Maybe doing something wrong???
- (2019-12-07) Tiffany Howard: Great that it runs offline and is a small, fast app. However I'd appreciate a bookmark feature as well as a visible bookshelf like in Moonreader.
- (2019-10-24) Joan Barger: Needs bookmark and scroll to page options.
- (2019-10-03) Victoria Gervais: Works pretty well big problem is don't close it if you don't want to loose your page. its a huge pet peeve for me!!
- (2019-08-26) Jada Williams: It gave me exactly what I wanted!!!
- (2019-08-24) Michael Harlan: Works well for my chromebook, much better that text.
- (2019-08-21) william lee: very convenient and easy to use. fits your schedule.
- (2019-04-28) Michael Dennis: Works well, I really make good use of this app, on my chrome-book.
- (2019-04-25) Jesse Thomas: it was ok. doesnt remember your place but not buggy. Edit: raised my rating to a four because it is an ebook reader specifically for chrome that works offline, and that is a rare thing!
- (2019-04-14) Tim Babcock: It would be nice if it told you that it was loading. It displays a blank screen while loading with no indication as to what is going on.
- (2019-04-14) G Wilson: tried this as a chrome extension on chrome os, cant open anything but the table contents, removing
- (2019-03-28) Geney: Nice works well. Only thing is I can't see the page numbers but thats minor.
- (2019-03-13) alison totten: Unfortunately this app crashed my CB when I tried to open an epub file from my Drive. When I downloaded the file to my HD, I could open the file but the app only showed the first page and all pages blank after that. I left the file open for a while to see if it needed to load the book but still blank pages after 5 minutes.
- (2019-03-07) Sonia Choto: I love this app! I get all my free books from my amazing Authors, like Victoria Vale and Carole Mortimer. It is so easy to use and thankfully I have never had a problem with this.
- (2019-02-11) Joshua Hall: Simple and to the point
- (2019-01-14) Roelof Siepel: I like the simple minimalist way it works but it doesn't remember on what page I am if I turn off my chromebook. If it would open on the same page as I closed it and it would work for PDF's it would be perfect.
- (2018-11-23) Dennis Daniels: Click on a hyperlink to jump to the chapter = does not work option to adjust font = appears to not exist option to jump to last read page = appears to not exist uninstalling/moving on
- (2018-10-05) Worked like how it was supposed to work
- (2018-10-02) Ethan Munroe: its frustrating because it takes long to open a book, and it doesn't open up books sometimes. it doesn't show the number on the page so its hard to pick up where you left off.
- (2018-09-04) Tom Reilly: Large files take a while to open, so you don't know if they are corrupt- haven't seen any error message, which can be confusing.Works good for small or simple epubs.
- (2018-08-27) Jorge Marcano: Enjoyable app that helps me reading epub files straight from my laptop
- (2018-08-26) Deena Batten: I couldn't open any epub file with it.
- (2018-08-24) Ric Jameson Sabellon: Works as intended.
- (2018-07-14) karen holder: Great and handy app
- (2018-06-06) Laura Kelly: only showed me the first page of eac chapter...
- (2018-05-22) cui karanja: its okay
- (2018-03-31) Andrew Cox: Worked well, minimal fuss.
- (2018-03-25) Alex S.: doesn't open ebooks offline !
