for the main page. You have to pick which version. I'd also watch the intro video. The maker covers many of the questions you think of during the first week.

Sumatra reader. decent front page with chrome like view of recent books.

Calibre gets my vote as well

Won't reading EPUB on PC, only on eReader or tablet.

Calibre, epubreader (firefox addon), geniuspdf. Geniuspdf also opens mobi, pdf, djvu, fb2, cbr and cbz files.

I use Librarus (http://librarus.com). It let's you read on any browser.

I rarely read on my laptop but here are my top 3 apps for when I need to check how the eBook looks before uploading it to the eReader:
. Calibre
. Stanza
. Adobe Digital Editions

Nook reader for PC, it's free and works great.

calibre on pc, fbreader on android

Adobe Digital Editions 1.7.2 is my favourite. I didn't like what they did with the layout/look of the later versions of the program.

ADE.Works Fine.

I use Adobe Digital Editions also on my PC. Although it's such a shame that the ADE mobile app is close to useless from what I hear.

I use FBreader on Android and Readium app on Chrome for PC. Readium lacks a lot of features like highlighting and bookmarking etc. which sucks because it reads very well and fonts and layouts are nice and clean on the app.
