  • MIT licensed.
  • Published to Open VSX, so forks can install it from their own registry instead of sideloading.

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.
