BookBrowser

Build Status

Note: This project is no longer maintained, as I haven't had the time or motivation to continue working on it. BookBrowser will still work as-is (I still use it myself occasionally), but is unlikely to receive any new features or bugfixes.

An easy-to-use tool to generate a web-based ePub and PDF ebook browser. All you need to do is download it into the folder with your ebooks, and run it. There is also a demo.
