Scrolex

Scrolex is an open-source document reader for Linux in the Education category. It is intended for reading books, course documents, manuals, and other supported publications. On a wide screen, its layout can display several pages at once, making use of available space for multi-page reading.

It opens PDF, EPUB, MOBI, FictionBook, XPS, and CBZ comic book files. Margin cropping removes unused page edges, allowing more of each page to fit within the viewing area. A hue-preserving dark mode can remain enabled across sessions. Users can zoom with Ctrl and the scroll wheel or with touchpad pinch gestures, search the full text, and use the table of contents to move directly to document sections.

Scrolex can advance one page per scroll-wheel step, and keyboard navigation provides another way to move through a document. It renders sharply on HiDPI displays and runs under both Wayland and X11. These features fit Linux workflows focused on reading educational material, reference documents, and other supported publications.

MirrorNest distributes the official Scrolex build directly from its own storage. The build is scanned for malware before publishing, giving Linux users a direct catalog download connected to the official release. Its open-source license identifies it as software provided under an open-source model, while its Linux platform and Education category describe the environment and use case it serves.
