Read web content anytime offline

WebReader is a useful little desktop application that allows you to save web content for later offline reading.

In this age of constant internet connectivity, it's sometimes easy to forget that not everyone is connected at every moment of the day. A lot of people get around this issue by simply "saving" content they find on the internet via browser tabs for later viewing. This can be effective, if your browser doesn't crash while you're offline. If it does, there go all of the tabs you saved for later reading. That's where WebReader reader comes in.

WebReader is a handy little application that lets you save web pages and content to a folder on your desktop. When you want to view it later, all you have to do is open up WebReader, locate the folder in which your document was saved, and click to read it. WebReader gives you the option to zoom in or out for better viewing, as well as simple document printing capabilities and options. If you have internet access, all the links on the page you've saved still work, so you can easily click back into your browser during your reading experience. WebReader even comes installed with "The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes," "Journey to the Centre of the Earth," and a frequently asked questions guide on how to use the product.

Sounds good, right? In most respects WebReader gets the job done, although I wouldn't suggest shelving your Kindle or other ebook reader just quite yet. WebReader's interface is a little clunky, without any real advanced options of which to speak. There's no way to hold your place in the document you're currently reading, for one. There's also as yet no option to store the program on a USB or other portable device.

If there's web content you want to read while your PC's offline though, WebReader's a wonderful tool.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
