I'm using Thorium at present. Not thrilled with it.

I use Foliate on desktop, generally pretty good.

But I do most of my reading with Librera on Android, though it has an annoying bug where switching to it with the app switchers glitches out.

Unfortunately, I'm a Windows user.

Windows build #115

One comment on that issue:

If you're looking for similar functionality and the style of reading on macOS or Windows, I'm excited to introduce Readest—a modern rewrite of Foliate UI built with Next.js on Tauri v2.0. Readest is inspired by Foliate’s simplicity and rich feature set, but with added cross-platform support. It’s designed to run seamlessly on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

I've never used it myself, but maybe it'd be of interest to you.

Thank you!

Shame, I can't help then as I haven't daily drove Windows since 2018, so, *checks date*, seven years ago, fuck.

Though apparently, you can install Linux GUI apps via WSL.
