Wait for the copy progress bar to complete, usually taking just a few seconds.

Step 4: First Launch and Permission Settings

When launching for the first time, macOS may prompt you with a warning: “ePub Reader” was downloaded from the internet. Do you confirm to open it? Click “Open” to proceed.

If the system prompts “Cannot Verify Developer”, enter “System Preferences” > “Security & Privacy” > “General”, and click the “Open Anywhere” button.

Six, Common FAQs

We have compiled the most common 10 questions users encounter and provided detailed answers to help you quickly troubleshoot.

Q1: Why can’t I open an EPUB file?

A: Ensure the file format is indeed EPUB or MOBI. Some files with a .epub extension may be PDF or other formats. You can try opening the file with a text editor to see if it starts with the PK character (ZIP compression format indicator).

Q2: How do I fix the software from crashing?

A: First, check if your macOS version is 10.13 or later. Older versions may not be compatible. Next, try reinstalling the software or cleaning the cache files: delete the related plist files in ~/Library/Preferences/.

Q3: How do I import Kindle-purchased MOBI books?

A: Due to DRM protection, Kindle-purchased books are usually not directly importable. You need to use tools like Calibre to decrypt and convert the format. Follow local copyright laws during the decryption process.

Q4: How do I use the AI assistant?

A: In the reading interface, select the text you want to understand, right-click, and choose “AI Interpretation” or “AI Summary”. The AI assistant will generate a concise summary or explanation based on the context, helping you quickly grasp complex content.

Q5: What do I do if the layout is messed up after format conversion?

A: The conversion effect is affected by the quality of the original file. It is recommended to use EPUB to PDF for conversion, as PDF’s fixed layout can preserve the layout most effectively. If the conversion still has issues, you can adjust the “Conversion Settings” parameters for font and margin.

Q6: How do I back up my reading progress?

A: Reading progress is stored in the database file in the ~/Library/Application Support/ePub Reader/ directory. You can back up this folder directly. After reinstalling the system, place the backup folder back in its original location to restore the settings.

Q7: Can I adjust the auto-scroll speed?

A: Yes, you can. In the “Preferences” > “Reading” tab, find the “Auto-scroll Speed” slider. You can adjust it from slow to fast according to your reading habits.

Q8: Why isn’t dark mode working?

A: Ensure your macOS version supports dark mode (macOS Mojave 10.14 or later). If the system supports it, check the “Appearance” settings for the ePub Reader and ensure it is set to “Follow System” or “Always Dark.”

Q9: How do I extract all images from an e-book?

A: Open the e-book, click the menu bar’s “File” > “Export” > “Export All Images”. The software will prompt you to choose the save path. All embedded images will be exported in PNG or JPEG format.

Q10: Will my settings be lost after an update?

A: Normally, updates won’t affect your reading progress and preferences. To be safe, manually back up your configuration files before updating. If settings are lost, you can try restoring from the backup.
