OpenRead
Read everything. Keep everything yours.
OpenRead opens EPUB, PDF, DRM-free Kindle books, comics and audiobooks in one beautiful, private reader, with highlights, notes and read aloud built in.
Features
Your library. Every format. No store attached.
A reader that feels like paper
Themes and fonts, a page curl that follows your finger, the publisher's own page numbers and a Back to Page button after every jump.
Highlights and notes
Five colours and underline, notes on any passage, quote images to share and a Notes tab that gathers everything, exportable as Markdown.
Read aloud
On-device voices read any book while the current word is highlighted, keep going with the screen locked and stop with a sleep timer.
Audiobooks
Chapters, playback speed, a sleep timer, timestamp notes and a mini player that keeps playing while you browse your library.
PDFs and Apple Pencil
Page thumbnails, the PDF's own chapters and Pencil markup stored beside the file. The original PDF is never changed.

Questions
Good to know.
Can't find your answer? Write to us and you'll hear back from the people who build OpenRead.
Contact supportWhere do I get books?
Bring your own. Import DRM-free files from Files, iCloud Drive, AirDrop or any app's share sheet. OpenRead has no store and no recommendations.
Can it open books I bought on Kindle?
Only DRM-free ones. OpenRead doesn't remove copy protection; protected books need their provider's app.
Are my books uploaded anywhere?
No. Book files stay on your device. Optional iCloud sync carries your reading state, never the books themselves.
Does it support manga?
Yes. Comics marked as manga read right to left automatically, and you can switch the direction for any comic.
