Every format in one library

EPUB, MOBI, FB2, PDF, TXT and HTML books sit in one library with covers, folders and reading progress. Open a whole folder and a series continues automatically from one volume to the next.

Read, or listen when you can't

Switch between reading and listening at any point. Lifelike voices run on your phone and work offline after a one-time download, with word-by-word highlighting so you never lose your place. See the text to speech book reader for voices and listening options.

Light novels, web novels and books in other languages

Read a novel in its original language with translation into 100+ languages beside it, or tap any word for the offline dictionary. Long series, translated light novels and public-domain classics all read the same way.
