As I already said - in this article you will find a selection of programs for reading, all tools were selected according to the following criteria:
- Usability. It seems to me that the first thing you need to payattention, your close attention, when choosing a good program for reading books - ease of use. Agree, it is not very pleasant to work or use a program that is difficult for a beginner to understand;
- Appearance. There is an opinion that the appearance of the program issecondary, i.e. it doesn’t matter what the application looks like if it is sufficiently functional. I believe that the program in addition to extensive features should have a pleasant appearance, design;
- Book sorting option. One of the most necessary and useful features of the reader program is the ability to create lists of books, group them alphabetically, by author, etc.
- Availability of online libraries. The ability to download your favorite books directly from the application is a very useful, convenient and necessary function;
- Omnivore. If the program “can” open a large number of e-book formats, such as: ePub, Fb2, TXT, PDF, DJVU, then this is a good reader for your iOS gadget, whether it be an iPad or iPhone.

EBook formats
Below I will list and give a brief description of the most popular formats:
- ePub– a very popular e-book format. ePub is used as a “native” format in iOS (iPhone and iPad) devices;
- Fb2– format of electronic books presented in the form of XML documents. FB2 is compatible with almost all devices. The FB2 format is a very common format;
- PDF is a format for books and electronic documents developed by Adobe. PDF opens using special applications;
- Txt– a standard text format, familiar to many since the days of the first Windows;
- Djvu– a format that displays text in video compressed images, usually scanned books are “sewn” into this format.
So, now let's move on to the tools themselves:
iBooks

A reader developed by Apple for its iOS devices. Considered the most popular program for reading e-books, many say that this e-reader is the best.Some features:
- Nice appearance of the application;
- The ability to create book “shelves”, sort books by specific parameters;
- Ability to download books from the iBooks Store;

The only, in my opinion, minus the application is the lack of support for the FB2 format.
