Mac ePub Reader
Whether you're a longtime digital book reader or you've just bought your first ePub and you're on a quest for the best ePub reader for Mac, you've come to the right place. Neat Reader is a cross-platform application and web app that works on all your devices, whether you're on a Mac or Windows machine, and it even works on Apple or Android phones or any device that has a full-featured web browser.
On a Mac, ePub readers are a dime a dozen. There's Apple Books, which comes preinstalled on modern Macs, but its features are fairly limited and it only works on devices made by Apple, which can be problematic if you have an Android phone or another device that is outside of the Apple ecosystem. If you also sometimes use a Windows computer or a terminal at school, the library or at work, however, you won't be able to share your reading across devices.
Furthermore, ePub files have a lot of neat little features, such as bookmarking, note taking, color and font changing and more, which means that with the default Mac ePub reader you'll be missing out on some important features that could help you get more reading done whenever you have a minute, especially if you use a lot of different devices.
Newer ePub versions are also filled with advanced technology such as HTML and CSS, in addition to SVG images that scale with your display, enabling more intricate charts and diagrams like you'd find in MathML publications. If your Mac ePub reader doesn't support these more recent protocols, you could be missing valuable information and functionality that enables you to get the most out of your ePub books.
With Neat Reader, we've got your back. All the latest and greatest ePub technology works flawlessly in our application, and because Neat Reader works on any device you own or have access to, you can sync bookmarks, notes and even your entire library in the cloud without having to bring your files with you or digging for that important bookmark, note or highlight. Neat Reader does it all, from Mac to PC -- from Android to iOS, and the clean and seamless interface means you can get right to reading without stumbling through confusing menus and screens that seem to do anything but get out of the way and let you read.

Since the format of mobi and azw3 is very similar to EPUB, the book files after transcoding can be kept basically the same.

Yes, of course.
Notice: The following reviews are selected from several sources
Great alternative for iBook if you use Android phones. I used to use iPhone, and iBook is my daily ereader app, after switching to Android phone, I found it really hard to sync reading data between my Macbook and my new phone. Then Neat Reader comes into my eye, it works perfectly. I just wish you guys can polish it, making it better than iBooks.

Retired Products End of Support for Legacy Desktop Software
To: All Neat desktop software users:
For the past several years, the Neat Company has been developing a comprehensive new software platform that performs better than and provides enhanced features for, the latest in document scanning, storage, and retrieval. Our latest solutions allow for streamlined operations on all platforms including: Windows, Mac, Android, Apple iOS, and browser access through our web application at app.neat.com. In addition to performance and infrastructure improvements, we have taken the most popular features from our previous OS-specific desktop applications and enhanced Neat with new features only available on the new platform, such as:
The newest Neat scan utility platform also has support for non-Neat scanners. This allows you to use our scan utility with your existing multi-function printers (MFP’s), TWAIN-compatible scanners (for example, brands such as Panasonic and HP), and Fujitsu ScanSnap devices!
End of Support for Legacy Desktop Platforms:
In 2015, Neat stopped developing feature enhancements, updates, and/or bug fixes for the versions of Neat desktop software listed below. Effective March 1, 2016, Neat announced the end of support for these versions:
Versions impacted:
- Windows – Neat version 5.7 and all previous versions
- Mac – Neat for Mac version 4.5 and all previous versions
Downloads for these final versions of the desktop software (v5.7 for Windows; v4.5 for MacOS) are no longer available for distribution or download.
MacOS 10.15.x Catalina Users:
Neat Legacy software for Mac is not compatible with Mac OSX 10.15 Catalina. Upgrading your OS to Catalina will render your Legacy software inoperable. The PDFs of your data can be recovered by accessing your 'Neat Library' located in your computer hard drive.
Windows Users:
Effective October 2019, Microsoft removed the Visual C++ 2005 and 2008 Redistributable Packages from their website, and they are no longer available for download. Neat Legacy software for Windows relies on certain Microsoft C++ libraries that are no longer available. As such, upon new installation/re-installation of Neat v5.7 or earlier for Windows, the installation will not complete.
If you are still using the Legacy software for Windows, we strongly recommend that you move your data out of Neat, by exporting all your data to PDF files. If your Legacy software crashes or stops working, there will be no way to recover any of the data stored there due to this update.
Options for Current Users:
Users currently on one of these legacy versions of Neat software can continue to use the legacy Neat software for as long as you would like, however, agent-assisted support for these versions ended on July 31st, 2018. Again, we highly recommend moving your data out of Legacy Neat to maintain your data integrity.
All current Neat Desktop software (Neat 5 & Neat for Mac) users are eligible to upgrade to the newest version of Neat. Note that all versions of Neat software after 2015 require a paid subscription to use.
