Foliate. It's an ebook reader. Fast, functional and immersive. I like using it in full screen mode, dark mode. Sometimes it feels nicer than a kindle device.

What I like about it is, like any excellent software, you don't notice it. It gets out of your way and lets you do your task.

Foliate has gotten really good! When I tried it out very early in the development cycle it was quite buggy. I was using Calibre's viewer which is mostly great, but does take a while to start up. I think I can switch to Foliate when I'm reading on PC now.
