Open Reader 0.0.10
First Marketplace release. Native e-book reader for VS Code — EPUB and CBZ, in the sidebar or the editor.
Install
Install from the VS Code Marketplace — or download the VSIX below:
code --install-extension open-reader-0.0.10.vsix
Works in VS Code and its forks (Cursor, Windsurf, VSCodium, Antigravity).
Changes since 0.0.9
- Published to the VS Code Marketplace.
- Web links now point at https://open-reader-web.vercel.app/ — the About page, the README and the manifest homepage.
.envis excluded from the package, so publishing credentials can never ship inside the VSIX.
What Open Reader does
- Reads EPUB books and CBZ comics from your workspace, listed with chapters and per-book progress.
- Two reading surfaces — a Reader panel in the sidebar and full-width editor tabs — both styled prose, never your code font.
- Remembers reading progress per book and scroll position per chapter.
- Live typography settings: font, size, weight, line height, letter spacing, alignment, margins, indent, two-page columns, and five reading themes.
- Entirely local. No account, no upload, no telemetry.
The web version at open-reader-web.vercel.app reads more formats: EPUB, CBZ, Markdown, HTML and plain text.
