Read Anywhere with FBReader
FBReader for iOS is a free application designed to help people read on their iPhones and iPads. This app allows you to easily view ePub, fb2, html, rtf, and plain text files. The app also has some features that make it even easier to use, like full-screen mode and social integration options so you can share the book you're reading with your friends.
Interface
FBReader has a dual-pane interface; one pane is the book you are currently reading, while the other is a series of menus. You can move to any menu by tapping on it. The app starts in Library mode, which displays all of your books and folders in alphabetical order. You can create new folders and sort your books into them by title or author.
Key features

Receive notifications when new books are available from your favorite authors or publishers.
Share your thoughts about any book you're reading in a built-in social network for readers.
Create custom reading lists of any size that sync to all of your devices automatically.
Track what you've read and always have a personal list of books that you want to read next.
Browse your library by title and by author.
Sync your reading progress across all of your devices.

New features and improvements
You can use the app in fullscreen mode with no toolbar: hide or show the Toolbar by tapping on the title bar. You can also swipe up to see all open tabs.
In light mode, embedded ePub colors are used by default.
There are shortcuts for all actions in the reading mode: if your device supports 3D Touch, then press firmly on the screen and select the desired option from the menu that appears.
Supported formats
FBReader supports all formats that are supported by the iOS platform. The most popular formats include EPUB, MOBI, and PDF. However, FBReading also supports TXT, RTF, and AZW3 formats.
Conclusion
FBReader for the iOS platform is a great way to read anything on your iPad. It doesn't matter if you're reading a book or an online newspaper; this app gives you access to all of your favorite literature. The app offers an intuitive interface that makes navigation fast and easy on touchscreen devices. There are a few drawbacks, however. For example, while reading full-text PDFs may be possible if they were initially created in Word, this isn't always the case. One other drawback is that there is no support for comic book formats. But if you're looking for a simple way to read ebooks on your iPhone or iPad, this might just be what you're looking for.
