Freda, an app to read ebooks on Windows Phone

Oddly enough, Windows Phone is increasingly on more devices, not on eReaders, of course, but on smartphones and tablets, so surely many of you will be looking for or will be looking for an app to read your ebooks on this mobile operating system.

According to the opinion of many users, the ideal app and candidate for this reading ebooks would be Freda, a totally free app that works for both Windows Phone and Windows and that in addition to reading, Freda offers the possibility of downloading free ebooks through its app and to be able to access our ebooks or documents in our Dropbox account.

Freda works the same as many reading apps. It has a main screen, in it access to functions such as library, ebook catalogs and link to Caliber. Then, once we are reading the ebook, we can change the font, font size, text arrangement, search for words, etc ...

Freda adds access to our Dropbox account

Freda also offers a link to Caliber so we can synchronize our readings with the app. But the best thing about this new app is that it uses OPDS technology so we can link to the catalogs that use this technology, so the creators of Freda have linked directly to the most popular catalogs so from the first moment we can download the free ebooks that we want, without having to pay for it.

Many reading apps use OPDS technology so we can also manually add catalogs such as Smashwords, Internet Archive or Project Guternberg, however they are not configured so many are unaware of this. Freda includes it as standard in both her app and her desktop application, something that is appreciated for novice users.

At the moment Freda only reads ebooks in Epub format free of DRM, Txt and html. It also has a connection to Caliber so there will be no problem with the formats although they are being expanded, the next format to be supported will be FB2.

Although there are currently many apps for Android and iOS, the truth is that there is not the same number for Windows Phone, something that will change with Windows 10, but in the meantime, for all those who use Windows, Freda seems to be a good choice, don't you think?
