Description

Freda is a free program for reading electronic books (ebooks) on Windows. Read over 50,000 public domain classic books, free of charge, from Feedbooks, Gutenberg and other on-line catalogs. Or read your own (DRM-free) books in the supported formats: EPUB, FB2, HTML and TXT.


The program offers customisable controls, fonts and colours, plus annotations and bookmarks, and the ability to look up dictionary definitions and translations, and (new feature) text-to-speech reading. Freda understands EPUB formatting information (bold/italic text, margins and alignment) and can display images and diagrams in books.


Freda can get books from on-line catalogs like Feedbooks, Smashwords and the Gutenberg Project. Or if you have an existing book collection, you can use OneDrive, DropBox or Calibre to share it with your phone. Freda can also download books from any website and from email attachments.


You can download books and keep them on your phone, so you can carry on reading when you don't have network connectivity, and you can pin your favourite books to the Start page.


Freda is a free, advertising-supported app, displaying advertising at the bottom of its main screen. If you don't want to see advertising, there is an in-app purchase option to remove it - or you can buy the Freda+ app instead (it's the same as this one, except for not showing advertising).

    I have tried Tucan, Bookviser app and almost all other ebook readers and now reviewing Freda. What is good in Freda: 1. The best pagination, headings etc. 2. Text-alignment is best 3. SD card support 4. Speech What can be better: 1. User interface is very slow, I can see the loading animation everytime. 2. When pages are turned fast, it lags. 3. Page turning effect is not good. I mean please add the page curl option in the animations and make the animations smoother. 4. Speech customization options like to change speed of narration. 5.It should not try to load ads when there is no connection. Otherwise very good app. I love it... Please make changes in the next update thanks in advance...

    This is the ONLY good Windows 10 ebook reader by David

    Very customizable and the interface is great. I found this after being disappointed with several ebook apps, especially Barnes & Noble and their stupid Nook app which won't scale properly on Windows 10 after 5 months. Freda has basically every important feature: dictionary, text copying, find, bookmarks, highlighting, and notes. You can even choose which dictionary you want. This is my favorite Windows 10 app of any category. (Note to developer: My earlier review mentioned problems with the dictionary but I found out after that it was another program interfering.)

    Best Ebook Reader Ever! by Ken

    I have over 2000 books from many different sources in my library. Freda opens them all with no problem. All of the settings are easy to understand and use. This is without a doubt the best Ebook app I've ever used or seen at any price! And BTW, I'm not a bit shy about pointing out issues with apps, but Freda doesn't seem to have any!

    Good Reader by Hosea

    Once it is set up properly the App works very well. Very responsive. Would be five stars if you could add notes.
