About:
Cisdem Document Reader is a utility designed to open and view a wide range of document formats that are typically native to Windows environments. It allows macOS users to access files such as CHM, XPS, WPD, and FB2 without needing a virtual machine. The tool provides a streamlined reading experience with navigation, search, and annotation capabilities.

Key Features:

Supports multiple formats including CHM, XPS, WPD, and FB2
Fast rendering and smooth navigation
Annotation tools for highlighting and note-taking
Content search and table of contents navigation

Use Cases:

Accessing niche e-book formats like FB2

Alternatives:
