Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

17,000+ classics built in and free to read. Select any line and AI translates or explains it in the context of the book. Your own EPUB, PDF and MOBI files work too. BeyondRead is a local-first ebook reader for your own EPUB, PDF and MOBI files, now with a built-in library of more than 20,000 public-domain classics. Select any sentence and ask AI to explain it, translate it, or keep the conversation going in the context of the book. AI Digest turns a whole book into an article you can read in a few minutes. BROWSE (NEW) • More than 20,000 public-domain classics in over 40 languages, free to download and keep • Shelves of great books, browsing by language and genre, and a "Surprise me" pick • Search by title, author or subject, with several words in any order READ • EPUB, PDF and MOBI (MOBI is converted to EPUB on import), on iPhone and iPad • Full-page bookmarks with notes; every book reopens where you left off • Quote cards in three styles: save them to Photos or share them • In-book search, table of contents, adjustable font size and background • Reading, bookmarks, quotes and search need no account ASK AI ABOUT ANY SENTENCE • Translate, Explain and Chat, with as many follow-up questions as you like • Only the passage you select and about 300 characters around it are sent, never the whole book • Translation, explanation and chat on the same passage merge into one highlight you can reopen AI DIGEST • Built from the title, the author, the real table of contents extracted on your device, and roughly the first 200 characters of each chapter • The full text is never uploaded; scanned PDFs and DRM-protected books cannot be digested • You are notified when a digest is ready PRIVACY • Books, bookmarks, quotes, reading positions and AI history live only on your device; our server stores no book content • AI can be switched off entirely, and then nothing leaves the device PLANS • Reading is free, and so is the public-domain library • AI features require signing in (Sign in with Apple) • AI translation is free and does not use your allowance (a fair-use monthly limit applies) • Free plan: 10 AI chats every month, plus 3 AI Digests to keep • Subscriptions raise your monthly chat and digest allowance.

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

New in this update: • Preview books in Browse: read the first few pages before adding a book, then add it and keep reading. • After adding a book, tap Read Now to open it right away. • The Chat tab offers three quick questions to get you started. • Tapping the “AI digest is ready” notification opens that digest. • If the passage you select is already in your AI reply language, the AI panel opens on Explain. • In Browse, the numbers in the language and genre menus now reflect your current filters. Also fixed: pages no longer get stuck between two pages after you select text; signing in from the AI panel now continues your request, and Delete mark removes every conversation on that passage. Japanese TXT imports and translation direction in bilingual books are improved, and Browse refreshes when you sign in or switch accounts.
