Notes:
[1]: Including password protected PDF, CBZ, CB7 and CBR files.
[2]: Images only.
[3]: Creating and modifying CBR files are disabled by default. They can be enabled in the preferences but require a third-party command-line tool (rar) to be installed in the system.
[4]: Only legacy MOBI (MOBI 7) files are supported. Newer formats like KF8 (AZW3) are not compatible.
[5]: Some of the tools can also run directly through the command line rather than the graphical user interface.

Stable version:
Note: For Linux distributions that require setting an AppArmor profile for Electron apps to run, like Ubuntu 24.04, it's best not to choose the regular or AppImage versions as they probably won't work by default due to that restriction.
