**[Plugin] ReadiumReader - a version of Readium's Cloud-Reader-LITE for Sigil **

Updated: August 2, 2023

Current Version: "0.4.1"

This plugin implements an epub3 reader for the epub currently being edited in Sigil. It uses PyQt5 and PyQtWebengine or PySide6 to create a browser like main window and then loads Readium's cloud-reader-LITE from Readium's js-viewer project to implement the epub reader.
