I just downloaded Freda. It seems decent so far.

I got hooked on BookViser because it can read/download epub books from my Dropbox. Freda can too but I chose to stick with BookViser since my paid version of Freda + somehow VANISHED and they won't fix it.

Thank you all guys.

Freda has some formatting issues to sort out still, a few of my epubs just look horrible with every word appearing to be double spaced. From the ones I've tried the best one so far is Overlook. It has no options to speak of, and you have to open epub's directly from skydrive or the file explorer, but so far everything I've opened has been formatted correctly.

Except this is about the Windows RT / Windows 8 version.

Freda has major issues still, but it's the best there is so far.

Do any of these have a night read option? (white characters/black page)

Freda does.

Thanks for the tips guys... couldn't find bookviser though. I hope Microsoft adds epub to its reader app eventually because they need a good ibooks replacement

Did you contact me already for help with that issue? Anyhow, do email support@turnipsoft.co.uk, and I'll see what I can do.

BTW, as far as I am aware, Bookviser doesn't support DropBox, only SkyDrive. Or is there a recent update that I maybe haven't seen yet?

Correct. It IS Skydrive. I tried to get help with it but when I got no response I dropped it and decided that was my last purchase with Freda.

I would love to have Aldiko on Windows RT. Of all the ebook readers on the various platforms, I really liked Aldiko - plus I downloaded a plugin to sync the books to my dropbox.

As far as I can see, I never received a support request from you (indeed I never received any support request for 'paid version vanishing'). Where did you go for help?

Aldiko is great! It would be awesome to see it here. I also really like moon reader a lot!

Well, I too have been feverishly looking for an ePub reader that supports internal hyperlinks and highlighting. I finally found one tonight.
It is called Fiction Reader and can be found in the Microsoft Store. It does cost a couple bucs, but can be downloaded as a trial with full functionality. So far, it works without hiccup and I can navigate easily. Give it a try.

yeah I bought this one and it is definetly the closest to working the best. Just needs notes added, and some bug fixes that are really annoying, like if you click on a link while in the book and then go back to the same spot where you left off all of a sudden it changes the format, like the same writing before the link is on the right side of the page and the pictures are in different areas. It is very close to being the one I use.

I also really like book because highlighting is much easier and it has notes but you can't rearrange the format of the page like margins. So again very close but not quite there. I think unfortunately this is just going to be a waiting game. I think within a month or two we will get the bugs fixed and will have some really good choices for readers.

I'm using Books HD, great layout, not sure if it has highlighting but the UI and text rendering are top notch.

Freda here is not working... I tried to open one ePub and the dots on the black screen keep spinning and nothing happens!

The ebook reading software situation for WindowsRT is pretty sad. The only one that I found tolerable is "Book Bazaar Reader".
