## Description

Reader is a Win32 text reader and EPUB document viewer for Windows. It functions as an auto-scrolling text viewer and a web novel downloader that renders digital books and plain text using various character encodings.

The application includes a text-based content filter to remove advertisements and irrelevant text from web sources using regular expressions. It provides hands-free reading capabilities through automated page-turning and scrolling modes governed by custom time intervals.

The software manages digital book organization through reading progress tracking, bookmark management, and the automatic generation of tables of contents. It further supports text appearance customization for fonts and colors, custom keyboard shortcuts, and system tray integration for background operation.
