Oh, the UI! I have no idea why Calibre UI has no calibre (pun intended) at all. As much as I love iBooks, I really wish they had implemented an auto-scroll function, and I was wondering if Calibre would offer that feature. The first thing I noticed as I installed – and then launched – Calibre, was the big splash image on my screen that made me feel like I was back to the apps of the 2010 era. But hey, if Calibre offers something great, I’m not one to whine about a splash image that vanishes in a second or two. I have read a lot about Calibre, so I decided to give it a try. iBooks comes pre-installed on the Macbooks, so chances are, you already have it and you just use it. I dare you to highlight text on your Harry Potter paperback, purists. It allows text highlighting, underlining, adding notes and even sharing selected text. The fonts are nice and large, spacing is done very well, and it has four different themes you can choose from, depending on your mood or the time of the day.

That’s the entire full screen view of iBooks. It utilities the entire screen of your Mac to the best possible extent. Your entire screen is dedicated to the eBook you are reading, and nothing comes in the way. However, go into the full-screen view by pressing “ Command + Option + F” and you will see just why this app is one of the most beautiful eBook readers available on the Mac.

It has a clean UI, even in windowed mode. IBooks is Apple’s stock eBook reader app, and it is exactly what an eBook reader for a laptop should be.

We explore, in this article, some free eBook readers that are available for the Mac. We have mobile phones, laptops and even dedicated eBook readers these days and for each of these, there has been an obvious rise in the number of applications that seem to offer eBook reading capabilities.
