## What is Afterword?

Afterword is a reader for the books you own. EPUB, PDF, comics and audiobooks open in one calm, paper-like app, and every book you finish ends with an afterword written from your own reading.

READ
- Real page turns that follow your finger, or slide, fade and scroll
- Ink & Paper themes, warm night colors, light and dark appearance, and fonts made for reading, including Atkinson Hyperlegible Next and OpenDyslexic
- Highlights, notes and bookmarks that sync through iCloud
- A translation under each paragraph with Apple Translation
- Scanned PDFs made searchable right on your iPhone
- On iPad: two-page spreads, a menu bar and keyboard shortcuts

LISTEN
- Audiobooks with chapters, a sleep timer and Lock Screen controls
- Line an audiobook up with its ebook and read along word by word
- Read aloud in Apple voices or your own Personal Voice

YOUR LIBRARY, WHEREVER IT LIVES
- Import from Files or the share sheet
- Browse and download from Calibre-Web, Kavita, Komga, the calibre content server and other OPDS catalogs
- Play from your Audiobookshelf server
- Sync your place with KOReader, highlights with Readwise and shelves with Hardcover
- Free classics from Project Gutenberg, Standard Ebooks and Wikisource

REMEMBER WHAT YOU READ
- Your Afterword: finish a book and get a closing page made from the passages you lingered on, the pages you went back to, your highlights and the nights you read
- Your year, wrapped: pages to tap through and share, with the books you finished, the book you lived in, your reading clock and the page that held you
- A library card for every book, stamped with each day you read it
- Reread with your past self: earlier highlights and notes show faded, with their year
- Notes to future you that come back in a year, or on your next reread
- The Daily Edition: a front page for your reading every morning

READ WITH OTHERS
- Book clubs: read one book with friends over a few weeks, each at your own pace. Check in, leave notes at any page, and notes from further in stay hidden until you get there. Anyone with the link joins free.
- Read Together: the same book with friends over FaceTime or Messages, seeing each other's place and highlights. Anyone can join for free.

SMART, NOT SPOILERY
- Ask This Book, Story So Far and Who's Who answer from the pages you have read, never past them, using Apple Intelligence on your device

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
- No account. Your books and notes stay on your devices and in your iCloud unless you turn on an outside service.
