Which apps do you use for reading programming books?

On my Mac I would just use Apple’s Preview which open’s PDF files, and on the Kindle their standard app.

On the iOS devices I am preferring the Kindle app to Apple’s ‘Books’ app - partly because it’s been a nightmare trying to sync books on to all devices!

On the Kindle app you just need to email yourself a copy of your book and it will appear on all connected devices, and it even syncs your notes and last read page - so you can continue reading on any device. It’s also more customisable and just a bit more polished imo.

What about you? What do you use?

On Linux I used to use Foxit Reader, but now I use Evince. Evince is simple enough and has the ability to remember the position where I stopped reading. On the phone (Andriod) I use ReadEra and I make a lot of bookmarks and highligths.

I’ve never encounter this issue. It’s kinda strange.

I use the Books.app on macOS because it’s really useful. Use to use Calibre but since I’m only on macOS at this moment, I do not find yet an equivalent. If someone as any :smiley:

And well I do not read books on my iPhone, can’t focus. Even on bigger ones.
