Browse ebooks like a paperback

If you want the ease of ebooks with the feel of an old-style paperback, take a look at yBook.

This free, lightweight ebook reader takes ebooks from various sources - including straight from a web address - and displays them on an easy-to-read "paper" background that you can browse through with just a click.

As you might expect, you can modify yBook's settings to make reading as comfortable as possible, including adding bookmarks, changing the font and creating catalogs of books for easy access. yBook supports various ebook formats, including text, HTML, RTF and PRC.

Using yBook was much more comfortable than other ebook reader software, and a few extra functions - such as direct download of Gutenberg ebooks and auto-load for the last read item - make using it very easy. There were a few minor problems, however: the application seemed unstable at times, and the bookmark function isn't very advanced.

A few small issues apart, yBook is a good option for people who like to read onscreen.

To minkernt. Hey minkernt,After reading about your experience, I tested yBook with a few .PDBs and I couldn't get it to open them either. I've taken the reference to the format out of the review - sorry about that.Niamh

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
