Chuck's Guide to the AH-64D Apache
Goodreader pdf reader app (iOS) has a mobile view feature that shows any pdf in a more mobile friendly way (strips out text etc to be scrollable). There might be others that do this. https://goodreader.com/. Source: over 1 year ago

Are all HOM pens the same?
I have the A5X. I've always ordered direct from Ratta so I cannot speak to goodreader.com 's service, but the HOM pen for the A5 and A6 series is the same as the one for the X series (unless some knows otherwise). Source: over 2 years ago

Based on what's on ZLibrary, various formats, though principally PDF, ePub, Mobi (Kindle), DJVU (similar to PDF), FB2, and a few others. Most ebook readers (with the exception of Amazon's own Kindle reader) can read virtually all of these, some with extensions. E.g., FB Reader , PocketBook Reader , Onyx's Neoreader (BOOX) ...

FOSS or privacy conscious ebook reading app (Mac/iOS)
I came across FBReader which looks great in principal, but it uses a Google Drive account to sync with no other options. Also it's no longer OSS from 2015 (which wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me). Source: almost 2 years ago
I need a good Software to read epub
I use FBreader on android and PC. It's insanely customizable. I sometimes use it it double-page layout, 'though I haven't tried comics. Source: almost 2 years ago
