BlueFire Releases New Windows Reader

w-3

Bluefire is best known for their mobile reading apps for Android. The company really makes most of its cash by white labeling their eBook reading tech to other companies who want their own or are making an online bookstore. Today, BlueFire Reader has just released their first Windows app.

BlueFire Reader for Windows is a small 7MB file that you can install on your Windows 8 PRO tablet, laptop or PC. It gives users a solid alternative to the mainstream readers out there, such as Kindle, Kobo, Sony or Nook. It allows users to import paid EPUB and PDF books from other bookstores and you can also elect to load in your own books you downloaded from the internet.

The new reading software is fairly solid, with lots of customization options. You can adjust the margins, line spacing, font size, font type, themes and even nighttime reading mode. One of the downfalls of the app is when  you close it and reopen it later, it does not preserve any of your reading settings.

Likely the BlueFire Reader app for Windows is going to be marketed towards established eBook companies who want a standalone app. From a user point of view, this is a neutral app that doesn’t rope you into any particular ecosystem. It offers enough options to craft your own experience and importing paid content is a boon.

You can download the new Reader for Windows HERE.
