I am specifically looking for something to handle books, some of them have large sizes (around 50 MB).

crap

>zathura

didn't use

>drive pdf viewer or previously standalone google pdf reader

slow and resource intensive on big pdfs that arent in textual format aka scans or pictures

i use sumatra pdf on winblows10 because it is snappy and supports pdf as well as cbz and epub. i also use readera on android because it supports read history, bookmarking, dictionary, text to speech audio reader.

both of them are free and serve no ads or collect data and dont stay running in background

What you mean handle pdfs?

For pdf reading- evince mogs

For bookmarks editing- Jpdfbookmarks mogs

For cataloging and management- Calibre

For epub- okular

These are all hassle free just werks softwares. As light weight as they could be.

PDF Gear - fast pdf viewer with free editing options

Miny pdf reader and viewer - if you want a lightweight(3.4MB) pdf viewer but don't want to install 600mb adobe reader

Adobe reader - last resort for viewing complex pdfs with dozens of engineering/electrical circuit diagrams

>Windows

Sumatra pdf - light weight viewer, other browser works fine for 100-300 page pdfs

Adobe pdf - office walo ka subscription, apne baap ka kya jaata use karne me. Only con it's too heavy, and i only use it for editing not viewing/reading.

>Linux

Atril for reading/viewing, Okular for editing

Web browsers works fine 80% of time.
