The latest release of uChmViewer 8.6 is now available. This program is designed for viewing e-books in CHM and EPUB formats. Some features of the viewer include improved support for non-English languages, the option to disable JavaScript, auto-detection of encodings, accurate search in chm files with Cyrillic characters, the ability to use complex search expressions, a bookmark system, and the ability to save viewing history and scale text size.
