In case there is one company that makes software for almost all forms of creating and consuming creative content, it’s Adobe. Adobe Digital Editions is the best Epub reader for Windows PC, which permits users to consume their favorite titles. So, One of the great reasons for using Adobe Digital Editions is its support for EPUB 3 standard. It offers users a more luxurious reading experience by bringing support for the right to left reading, dynamic image resizing without interactive quizzes, loss in clarity, better rendering of math formulas, and much more.

Cover

The Cover is primarily an app for reading comic books on your Windows PC, but since this app also supports Epub format, it has made its way on the list. This main reason why Cover is on the list is that since this app is made for comics, it is an excellent to read image-heavy books.

 So, While all the other apps on the list can handle images, they can’t do it as well as Cover can. Therefore, if you are into books that feature a ton of pictures, Cover will be right. However, if you are into comics and manga, there is no better application that you can get.

Kobo

Like the Kindle, Kobo is not only an ebook reader app but also a service that permits you to buy books from its store. Even though, unlike Kindle, which doesn’t support Epub formats, Kobo supports both Epub and Epub 3 formats. Kobo brings all the usual features we have come to expect from an Epub reader, including search, bookmarks, progress tracking, theming, and more. Though, the biggest reason to get Kobo over other Epubs readers is its store, which permits you to browse and buy from over 6 million free and affordable eBooks, comics, and children’s books.
