READS WHAT YOU HAVE
• EPUB, PDF and CBZ comics
• FB2, MOBI, AZW3, TXT, RTF and HTML, converted to EPUB once on import
• Import files or whole folders, open books from other apps, or link a folder in iCloud Drive, Dropbox or on a USB drive and read in place
MADE FOR READING
• Five themes – Paper, Sepia, Sage, Dusk and Night – that follow light and dark mode
• Fonts, size, line spacing, margins, justification and hyphenation; paged or scrolling
• Two-page spreads on iPad in landscape
• Dim the screen below the system minimum for reading in bed
• Footnotes open in a popup, and a Back button takes you home after any link
• Real page numbers when the book has them, and time left in the chapter
• Your place is kept by the words on screen: rotating or a new font size never moves you a page
UNDERSTAND AND REMEMBER
• Long-press a word for the offline English dictionary: pronunciation, meanings, examples, synonyms
• Every word you look up is saved, with flashcards to review them and export for Anki
• Highlights in four colors, notes, and bookmarks that land on the exact words
• Search the whole book, ignoring case and accents
LISTEN
• Read aloud with your device's voices, sentence by sentence, even with the screen locked
• It picks up at the exact sentence where it stopped

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
New: reading stats for every book. A calendar shows the days you read it with the minutes of each, alongside the total time, your pace, your best day and longest run. Open them from a book's menu, its details or the stats screen. With iCloud, your reading on iPhone and iPad counts together, and the stats show the time on each.
Books now finish themselves: turn to the last page and the book shows 100% and moves to Finished.
Read aloud remembers the exact sentence where it stopped, even after listening with the screen locked. Your place is kept by the words on screen, so rotating, a new font size or your other device no longer moves you a page.
Books syncing with iCloud show as one quiet line in the library, which says when they're waiting for Wi‑Fi or a connection.
