Simple Ebook Viewer

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Modeled within the band wp.org reports; tightens as we track daily.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from. The recent download trend is too spiky to read.

   The plugin is the best for epub viewing and it has more customization options than any of the PDF viewers out there. The developer is also active and continues to support the plugin when issues arise. Very good plugin!

   The best solution for comfortably viewing and reading ebooks on a website. Even better than some ebook reading apps.

   The only solution on the market, and works effortlessly. Would be great if we could load ebooks from external links e.g. from GoogleDrive URL. This topic was modified 10 months, 2 weeks ago by joykingwar.
