File When to use it
Devava-Reader-1.1.0-windows-x64-setup.exe Recommended. Double-click it, keep or change the folder, done. Adds Start menu and desktop shortcuts (you can untick them) and can be removed from Settings → Apps. No administrator rights needed.
Devava-Reader-1.1.0-windows-x64-portable.zip No installation: unzip it anywhere (a USB stick works too) and run Devava Reader.exe.

Requirements: Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit. Java is not required — a trimmed runtime is bundled.

"Windows protected your PC"? The files are not code-signed (that needs a paid certificate), so SmartScreen may show this warning the first time. Click More info → Run anyway. Both files are built automatically by GitHub Actions from this tag, so the build log shows exactly what went into them.

Your library (collections, volumes and reading progress) lives in Documents\Devava Reader\library.json; it is kept when you update or uninstall, and the book files themselves are never moved or modified.

What's new in 1.1.0

First public release.

Added

  • PDF / manga reader: pages rendered as images with Apache PDFBox, single or double-page
    spreads (the cover and wide pages stand alone), left-to-right or right-to-left reading
    direction, fit to the whole page or to the width, the PDF outline as table of contents,
    and progress by page. Shortcuts: R direction, W fit, 1 / 2 layout.
  • Collections can mix .epub and .pdf volumes; both are accepted by the Add books
    dialog and by drag & drop, and PDF volumes show a PDF badge.
  • Library search and filters: find collections by name, show only EPUB or only PDF
    collections, pin favourites so they stay on top, and reorder collections manually
    (Ctrl+↑ / Ctrl+↓).
  • Windows installer (-setup.exe) and portable ZIP, built by GitHub Actions from every
    version tag, with SHA-256 checksums.

Changed

  • The packaged application now ships a jlink runtime image (JDK modules + JavaFX) and runs
    from the class path, which is what makes PDFBox usable inside the bundle.
  • Reader themes (light / sepia / dark) are shared by the EPUB and PDF readers.

Verify the download (optional)

In a terminal run certutil -hashfile <file> SHA256 and compare the result with:
