CalibReader: EPUB & PDF Reader
Your ebooks & calibre library
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Open iPhone Duo for a two-page spread; close it and the cover screen shows your book. Read 3 books free, then one purchase unlocks your whole library. No account.
Read your EPUBs like a real book: two pages side by side on iPad and iPhone Duo, with real page curls. PDFs open as two-page spreads too. Open your ebook files straight from Files, Safari, Mail or AirDrop, or bring your whole calibre library: CalibReader shelves them with covers and series, and keeps your place on every device.
BUILT FOR IPHONE DUO
Open iPhone Duo and your book becomes a two-page spread, with real page curls. Close it and the book closes: the cover screen shows its cover, leather-bound with the title in gold or the original art. Tap to keep reading, one page at a time. Your place holds through every fold, and turning the open phone to portrait gives you a single page.
YOUR EPUB AND PDF FILES
Any folder of EPUB or PDF files becomes a library with covers, sorting and search.
WORKS WITH YOUR CALIBRE LIBRARY
Point CalibReader at your calibre library folder and every book, cover, series, tag and synopsis appears as you organised it. Nothing to convert, no lock-in.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Reading positions and read status sync across your devices through a tiny file in your library folder. Put down the iPad, pick up the iPhone. A free calibre plugin writes read status, % read and last-read date back to your desktop library.
A LIBRARY THAT LOOKS LIKE A LIBRARY
Home with continue reading and recently added; grid, list and series views; filters and search; cover art found automatically when a book has none, and Choose Cover to swap in another edition's cover or bind any book in leather.
3 BOOKS FREE, THEN ONE PURCHASE

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
• iPhone Duo: the book cover on the closed phone stays still when you tilt it, and folding shut while holding the phone sideways shows the cover upright.
• iPhone Duo: unfolding while holding the phone sideways no longer leaves the open phone stuck in portrait, and no longer jumps to the wrong page.
• iPhone Duo: the line you were reading stays the first line when you fold, unfold or turn the phone, and each way of holding it remembers its own layout.
• Your reading place is kept through crashes, app updates and library switches, and leaving the app and coming back no longer moves you to earlier pages.
• Turning back now curls the previous page in from the left, as smoothly as turning forward. Turning pages quickly no longer skips a chapter.
• iPhone Duo, closed: swiping to turn the page works wherever on the page you start the swipe.
• On iPhone, Back, Contents and Aa now sit in a small bar under the text, with your progress shown at the top. Tap the middle of the page to show or hide them.
• New app icon, with Dark, Clear and Tinted versions to match your Home Screen.
• New “Book’s own formatting” switch in Aa (off by default) shows the publisher’s styling.
• Scrolling view: the end of a chapter is a firm stop; tap the edge of the page to go on.
• Large libraries sync without freezing the app, books open reliably after an update, and removing a book no longer crashes the app.
• Your own server (SMB) connects on the first try, OneDrive retries a book that failed mid-sync, and the app asks before replacing a different library found in the same place.
