Open an EPUB e-book from a library, a publisher or Project Gutenberg and read it straight away on a phone, tablet or computer, with no app or account. Jump between chapters from the contents list, make the text bigger or smaller, switch to sepia or night reading, and come back later to the chapter where you stopped.

Questions
Does it open Kindle or DRM-protected books?
No. It reads standard, unprotected EPUB files (EPUB 2 and 3). Books with DRM only open in the shop’s own app, and Kindle formats such as AZW are different files.
Is the book safe to open?
The book is unpacked on your device and each chapter is shown in a sealed frame with any scripts removed, so it cannot run code or reach your other tabs.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Everything happens inside your browser. The open-source library the tool needs is downloaded once from a public CDN; your files never leave your device.
Is my data private?
Yes. Everything happens inside your own browser: nothing you type or choose is uploaded to us or anyone else.
Is it free?
Completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many times you use it. Light ads keep the site running.
