Read our full Icecream Ebook Reader review.

Students will find the lack of note-taking and copying frustrating. The free version of Icecream Ebook Reader is quick and very easy to use, but only really suitable for recreational reading. Premium features include importing multiple ebooks simultaneously, adding notes, editing metadata, and copying text. Unfortunately, some of the options you can see in the menus are only available if you pay for the Pro version. The reader itself is similar to the Kindle app in appearance, with one-click (or tap) buttons for changing font size, color theme (day, night, or sepia), and viewing the table of contents.

One particularly handy feature is the ability to archive and export your ebooks ideal if you use more than one PC and don’t want the hassle of importing your books twice. It supports EPUB, MOBI, PDF and FB2 ebook formats, and once you’ve imported your books they’re arranged in a neat bookshelf with a choice of viewing options.

Icecream specializes in smart, no-frills software, and Icecream Ebook Reader (opens in new tab) is no exception.
