What it does
Bookworm provides a personal ebook library with list and grid views, metadata editing, bookmarks and reading profiles.
Switch to list view when you need to sort by metadata; use the grid when recognizing covers is faster. The reading controls include margins, line width and light, sepia or dark profiles. These options make it a practical reader for a mixed personal collection rather than a book storefront.
Enable Cache preserves extracted book content for later opening, while the information view provides clickable bookmarks, search hits and annotations. Choose those settings based on how often you revisit a book.
