2ndBook

Book library and book swaps

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Catalogue audiobooks now stay in your library, and a book you started on your phone continues in the browser right where you stopped. Free, no ads. 2ndBook is an app about books and about the people who read them. Your personal library, your book club, swapping books with other readers and a comfortable reader all live in one place. YOUR LIBRARY • Add books and documents; by ISBN or a cover photo the fields fill in automatically. • Read offline: local books open with no network and no mandatory sync. • Open books in 2ndBook straight from Files and Telegram via Share — they go right into your library. • EPUB, FB2, MOBI, PRC, DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT, MD, HTML, PDF and CBZ open in the app’s reader. DJVU, AZW, AZW3, KF8 and CHM are stored and synced, but open in an app on the device. • Listen to audiobooks, book podcasts and video sound with the screen off, with controls in the notification shade and on the lock screen. • Reading progress, bookmarks and favourite quotes sync across your devices. • Select text to save notes and quotes in EPUB, TXT, FB2, DOCX, HTML and Markdown — they gather in one list and open the book right where you made them. • Several accounts on one phone: each keeps its own library, bookmarks and progress. BOOK CLUBS • The club picks its book by vote, and everyone reads it together. • An author or a partner starts a club. • Discussion opens as you read: until you reach a chapter you see only the topic's title — spoilers stay closed. • A club can be open (join in one tap, no request), link-only or invite-only. • Schedule a meeting with an "I'm coming" reply. A coffee break is its own club activity: members split into small groups. • Su-Li-Fa, the club's quick game: the winner names a book first in the next cycle — the vote still happens. • Pass the paper copy to the next member: the club remembers who handed it to whom. • Every club has a chat of its own. BOOKS BETWEEN PEOPLE • Post a book you are ready to sell, gift, swap or lend. • Find other readers' books through search and filters — by genre, from classics to art, photography and design. • Say which format and language you are waiting for — paper, e-book or audio, in Russian, English or Kazakh. • An order takes name, phone and e-mail from your profile and the address from «My addresses». • Give books away: the Gifts section shows what you handed on and what you received, with a clear status for every handover. • Agree the details in the in-app chat. The seller sees the recipient's address and contacts only while handing the book over. • Rate each other after a deal, so the community feels safer. BOOKSHOP PARTNERS • E-books and audiobooks are published by book partners from their storefront. «Become a book partner» is free. • «Read» puts a partner’s book straight into E-BOOK, and it opens offline; if there are several formats, choose one. WHAT ELSE IS HERE • Notifications about what actually matters: a reply in chat, the status of your book, an answer from support. • Support answers inside the app. When it needs more details, the question arrives right in your report, and you answer it in the «Feedback» section. • Dark and light themes; Russian, English and Kazakh. SAFETY AND RESPECT FOR THE READER • Listings pass moderation before publication. Any post can be reported, including for copyright infringement, and any user blocked right from the app; we review every report. • Age ratings on books: restricted editions are unavailable to readers who have not given a date of birth or are below the required age. • We show no ads and do not sell your data. • No paid subscriptions and no in-app purchases: nothing is locked behind a payment. • Readers settle up directly — 2ndBook neither holds nor transfers money. • You delete your account right in the app — immediately, with its files and contacts. • «Delete» on your feedback really erases its text, contacts and screenshots. Legal documents and the privacy policy are in the app and at secondbook.kz. Build your library and give books a second life — with 2ndBook.

  • This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• Catalogue audiobooks now stay in E-BOOK and continue where you stopped. • Your reading place is now shared between the phone and the browser — continue where you stopped. • Your new profile picture shows right after the upload, without waiting for the check. • RTF books from Word now read as text — in the app and on the web. • Until the book's owner answers a request, the requester cannot write to them in the chat — less spam and pressure. • If your picture is on hold, the app now says why: being checked, waiting for a moderator, or did not pass the check. • After your PIN you are where you were: a started book and a picked file are no longer lost, even if the phone unloaded the app's screen. The PIN is asked after a minute in the background. • Book covers no longer disappear after an app update. • TXT books in Windows-1251 and UTF-16 (with a BOM) now read on the web too. • «Online» now means «in the app right now»: the dot goes out a minute and a half after the person leaves. • One person, one chat: a request, a book request and a deal open the conversation you already have. • Support no longer repeats «passed to a specialist» several times in a row. • Support gives a link to every section you asked for and sends none if you said you did not want it. • If the author replaces an episode's video, its audio version no longer plays the old video's sound. • If a moderator annuls a decision, the strike it gave is taken back.
