Mantano Reader is an e-book reader application for Android tablets and smartphones and iOS devices.[1] It supports the EPUB and PDF formats, and is compatible with the Adobe DRM technology. It features convenient library management functions through tags and collections, includes an OPDS catalog browser and allows to import books from external sources. The reading experience is smooth and the display can be customized through themes. The user can add annotations and organize them through a dedicated "Notes Manager". An original feature is that it allows to build "Revision sheets" by selecting sets of notes.

The application can be extended by subscribing to the Mantano Cloud service that provides additional synchronization and sharing functions.
