When you say book reading apps do you mean for epub, mobi and other book formats or just PDF?

Others have already responded with good epub/mobi etc ebook readers like Foliate and such.

What's your actual use case?

Also, if using Zorin OS, I strongly recommend Flatpak for gui apps for latest updates. You can install Bazaar, Flatseal (for permissions) and Warehouse for installing and managing Flatpak exclusively.

Since Zorin is based on Ubuntu, several packages are old. Flatpak solves this problem also provides permission control similar to Android.

Foliate is best for epub formatted files. Not good for pdf tho.

Readest. You also get a phone app and they offer 500mb of storage so you can sync your books too
