I'd call it something like LibreOffice Reader
What is "reader mode" at all? in which aspects it would differ from other modes (e.g., read-only)?
(In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #2) > What is "reader mode" at all? in which aspects it would differ from other > modes (e.g., read-only)? It is simply a mode that hides everything (or leaves something, but minimally) so you can read comfortably LibreOffice isn't the best thing when it comes to that. I read documents in browser, but I'd like to read them in LibreOffice. It's good for making docs but not reading them https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FrTcXL-AzkaRLxIo9qULsR7Q9UrcWzt9/view?usp=sharing
LibreOffice is not a reader, its core function is the correct *creation* of Open Document Format for Office Applications (ODF). External formats like PDF or OOXML are filter imported into LibreOffice and represented within limits of those filters in the LibreOffice authoring environment. Frankly you risk your external documents by opening them into LibreOffice, should you accidentally overwrite them.
