- Launch FSS ePub Reader from Start menu or desktop shortcut.
How to use (quick steps)
- Open the app, then choose File > Open or drag-and-drop an .epub file into the window.
- Use the table of contents (top/left pane) to jump to chapters.
- Adjust zoom with the + / − controls or reset to default.
- Toggle Night Mode if you prefer dark background reading.

Tips & limitations
- Good for simple reading and quick conversions; not a full library manager.
- Converted PDFs may require post-conversion check (line breaks/formatting can vary).
- If you need robust library features, DRM support, or multi-format syncing, consider alternatives like Calibre, Thorium Reader, or Kindle for PC.
