Do not let the program’s name fool you – SumatraPDF is not a simple PDF viewer or reader, it is a comprehensive e-book, comic, and of course PDF reading tool with support for EPUB, MOBI (Kindle), CBR, and even the not-so-common DjVu files. Its simplicity of use will let you open, read, and enjoy your favorite books and comics on your PC. This free open-source file viewer lacks all the complexity of standard e-book readers, but also its more sophisticated editing or navigation tools. SumatraPDF is simple and straightforward – just what a large number of e-book and comic readers as well as PDF users need to enjoy their books and other documents. As mentioned, the list of supported formats is larger than most users will expect from the program’s name. It includes more e-book formats than just EPUB and MOBI, such as FictionBook files (FB2, FB2Z, and ZFB2), PDB Palm documents, and TCR files. Together with CBR, you can also enjoy CBZ, CBT and CB7 comic books with this tool, as well as archive files (7Z, RAR, ZIP, etc.), CHM HTML files, XPS files, and all the most common image files, such as JPG, PNG, GIF, or TIFF. Its tab-based interface allows you to keep any files in any of the supported formats open simultaneously. The program’s interface controls are fairly simple. It tells you on what page you are from the total of pages in the document, allows you to go to the next and previous page, offers you different page displays, lets you enlarge a section of the page, and includes a convenient text search engine that will highlight in turn each instance found. Finally, it includes a printer icon to send any of the active documents to your printer. This efficient open-source development is a lightweight document viewer and reader that will save you desktop space, as you would normally need various similar tools to open the wide variety of files supported by SumatraPDF. Just download and install it on your PC and enjoy its simplicity.
