Description

Murasaki is an EPUB reader application that has simple user interfaces and various features (CANNOT open DRM-encrypted EPUBs)

Key Features:

Murasaki supports the pagination view mode. This is a hybrid view mode which has both a free scrolling and a snapping to column (horizontal writing mode only).

* Multi Windows
Murasaki can open different EPUBs in multiple windows. Moreover Murasaki can open different parts of one EPUB in multiple windows at once.

* Popover
By opening a link in a popover, you can check a related page, footnote, and so on quickly without moving page (Mac OS X 10.7+).

* Image Panel
By opening images in panels, you can read through text with reference to these images.

* Searching
You can search a word that is contained in a EPUB.

You can bookmark, and can refer these pages later.

Good book reader

I've tried several other book readers and this is the one I prefer. It's got a very straightforward interface and it does the job. I read normally in iBooks, but there are times when I don't want to import a book into iBooks, so I need a simpler reader. For me, it's Murasaki: I've made it the default app for .epub, for example.

Good job.

Daily

I use it daily to read ePub files. Stable and simple. Flexible as far as different formats and view. Search works in app and in OSX finder with an added extension to search for text in the file, like a PDF.
My favorite is that the user can both scroll through a chapter like a browser, and arrow navigate to other chapters.
Buy the Pro version, it’s worth it.

Bit pricey but works well

I tried a few different ebook readers--one left artefacts on my screen, one required I sign in and failed with an unintelligible error. This one works and displays the pages of my book nicely. I feel it's a bit pricey but once in a while it's worth it to pay a bit for something that just shuts up and works. Thanks for making this simple task seamless, Murasaki.
