Murasaki Overview
What is Murasaki? Murasaki is an EPUB reader application that allows users to read EPUB files with simple user interfaces and various features. It supports scrolling and pagination view mode, swipe navigation, multi-windows, popover, image panel, searching, bookmarking, full-screen mode, user style sheet, popover dictionary, and Spotlight/Quick Look plug-ins. However, it cannot open DRM-encrypted EPUBs.
1. Murasaki supports two-finger swipe gesture to move between contents (Windows OS X 10.7+). To read through an EPUB, use scroll and swipe gestures on trackpad.
2. Moreover Murasaki can open different parts of one EPUB in multiple windows at once.
3. Murasaki can open different EPUBs in multiple windows.
4. Murasaki is a scroll-based reader like usual web browers, not a page flip-based reader like iBooks.
5. Murasaki supports the pagination view mode.
6. This is a hybrid view mode which has both a free scrolling and a snapping to column (horizontal writing mode only).
7. By opening images in panels, you can read through text with reference to these images.
8. You can search a word that is contained in a EPUB.
9. You can bookmark, and can refer these pages later.

Daily
I use it daily to read ePub files. Stable and simple. Flexible as far as different formats and view. Search works in app and in OSX finder with an added extension to search for text in the file, like a PDF. My favorite is that the user can both scroll through a chapter like a browser, and arrow navigate to other chapters. Buy the Pro version, it’s worth it.
Bit pricey but works well
I tried a few different ebook readers--one left artefacts on my screen, one required I sign in and failed with an unintelligible error. This one works and displays the pages of my book nicely. I feel it's a bit pricey but once in a while it's worth it to pay a bit for something that just shuts up and works. Thanks for making this simple task seamless, Murasaki.
worth the money, just get it!
I have searched and tried many different ePub readers: Calibre, Kitabu, Kindle, Adobe, among others … This one is *hands down* the best one of all. Uses very little memory, it has tab support, and the ePub rendering is almost perfect (I say almost because it’s also dependent on the file’s format). Yes - It’s expensive compared to FREE. But free doesn’t always mean good. Don’t think about it. You can keep your free ones, but if you’re an avid reader - GET THIS ONE!
Not Good
This app hasn't been updated in years, and it shows. The search function is unreliable, the navigation/bookmark pane doesn't work and occasionally switches sides unbidden. The swipe function doesn't work with the Microsoft mouse.
