Its okay, does as advertised but a lot is locked without paying for premium versions. However this can easily be avoided with other free extensions to highlight and read aloud etc etc. Overall works well.

Works well right off the bat with minimal setup. I haven't seen any ads yet - though there is a pro version. Many thanks to the developers!

Esc key does not close the Reader, and it's a limited version restricted by a paywall.
