Build your library

Drop in EPUB or text files, group them into folders, and pick up from your saved place whenever you return.

Set up Reader for my research library. Create folders for "To read," "Sources," and "Finished," then sort the main shelf by most recently opened.

Make reading comfortable

Choose paged or scrolling layout, then tune the typeface, theme, text size, line height, and content width.

Create an evening preset

Add an evening preset using the Night theme, larger text, and a narrower reading column

Improve accessibility

Use OpenDyslexic by default and increase line spacing without changing headings

Search a book and jump back to where you were, or use RSVP mode when you want a focused word-by-word pace.

Tune speed reading

Set RSVP to 280 words per minute with longer pauses after sentences and three words at a time
