EPUB Reader Plus for Obsidian

EPUB Reader Plus is an EPUB reader plugin for Obsidian with paginated navigation and theme-aware reading. It opens .epub files directly in your vault.

Highlights

• Single, centered paginated reading view with responsive reflow.
• Mouse-wheel page turning in paginated mode.
• Compact table of contents and modern navigation controls.
• Theme-aware reader background, with an optional custom background color.
• Publisher EPUB styles are preserved for headings, emphasis, and relative typography.
• Reading progress is retained by book name; font-size changes anchor the visible text before reflowing.

Install

After community-plugin review, install EPUB Reader Plus from Obsidian's Community plugins browser. For a manual install, download main.js, manifest.json, and styles.css from the matching GitHub Release and copy them to:

<vault>/.obsidian/plugins/epub-reader-plus/

Migrating from ePub Reader

This plugin replaces the unmaintained ePub Reader plugin. Disable the original plugin before enabling EPUB Reader Plus; both plugins register the .epub extension and should not run together.

Your per-book reading position is preserved because both plugins use the book name as the progress key. Reader settings start with the new plugin defaults.
