Thorium is also using React components based on HTML 5/CSS 3. Thorium Reader and Readium Desktop both rely on Electron.js, node.js and typescript, which are efficient cross-platform technologies. Thorium Reader is based on the set of open-source chrome-less modules, a toolkit named Readium Desktop. Print disabled people now benefit from an EPUB 3 reading app which supports screen readers like Jaws and NVDA on Windows, Voice Over on Mac. Until now there was no modern EPUB 3 compliant reading application usable on Windows, OSX and Linux, properly accessible for print disabled people, with a good support for the LCP DRM and capable of browsing OPDS catalogs.ĮDRLab decided to build such an application and release it for free, in order to provide users a great way to enjoy on a large screen EPUB publications, comics / manga / bandes dessinées, audiobooks, LCP protected PDF documents. Thorium Reader 1000 € Donation Page Why developing Thorium Reader? The free version of the app is pretty limited but lets you track your reading progress, add bookmarks, categorize ebooks, take. mobi, Icecream also supports other popular formats like FB2, PDF, etc. You can help us financially, as a “one-shot”, by offering 1000 € to EDRLab for the development of the next features. Icecream Ebook Reader is a dedicated ebook reader for your Windows desktop. We believe that the companies which deploy Thorium Reader and the publishers which want a real alternative to proprietary solutions should help developing and maintaining this application.
The application is 100% free for its users, but its development is costly for a non-profit development laboratory.
