## What is Bookloader?

Whether you're importing your own DRM-free library, discovering new titles, or downloading directly from Usenet, Bookloader seamlessly organizes and renders your entire collection in one beautiful app.

Stop switching between different apps for your books, PDFs, and comics. Bookloader's smart engine automatically detects what you're trying to read and provides a tailored, native reading experience for every format.

A WORLD-CLASS READING EXPERIENCE
• Universal Format Support: Natively read EPUBs, PDFs, and Comic archives (CBZ, CBR, ZIP, RAR). Bookloader even smartly extracts books hidden deep inside ZIP and RAR files automatically.
• Highly Customizable: Choose from beautifully crafted Light, Sepia, and Dark themes that can automatically adapt to your system settings.
• Typography Control: Adjust font sizes and choose from beautiful typefaces, including OpenDyslexic for accessible reading.
• Read Your Way: Swap between classic paginated reading or modern vertical continuous scrolling.
• Native Text-to-Speech: Give your eyes a rest. Bookloader can read your books aloud to you using high-quality system voices. Read it out loud to yourself using Apple’s on-device Personal Voice feature.* 
• Powerful Tools: Highlight text, add bookmarks, define words with the native iOS dictionary, and effortlessly navigate via the Table of Contents.
• Immersive Comic Reader: Enjoy your graphic novels and manga with high-resolution image rendering and realistic page-curl animations.

POWERFUL DOWNLOADING & DISCOVERY
• Built-in Usenet Client: A true power-user feature. Add your Usenet indexer APIs and News Server credentials (with full SSL support) to search for, decode (yEnc), and download NZB files entirely in the background.
• Smart Web Downloader: Can't find it on Usenet? Use the custom web fallback to search your favorite web directories and download files directly into your library using the integrated browser.
• Discover What's Trending: Browse live top charts from Apple Books and Google Books to find your next great read, sorted by your favorite genres.
• Fix Match Metadata: Downloaded a book with a missing cover or messy title? Use the "Fix Match" tool to automatically pull pristine metadata and high-quality covers from the web.

YOUR LIBRARY, PERFECTLY ORGANIZED
• Automatic Categorization: Your books are automatically sorted into Currently Reading, Unread, and Finished.
• Archive the Clutter: Hide books you're done with in the Archive without permanently deleting them.
• Build a Habit: Bookloader tracks your daily reading minutes and builds a streak to help motivate you to read more every day!

Take complete control of your digital library with Bookloader—the only reading app you'll ever need.


Bookloader does not contain any books or files.  

*Due to a bug in iOS 26, Personal Voices recorded in English may have inadvertently been categorized as Chinese.  This is a known iOS bug and has nothing to do with Bookloader.  If you encounter problems with playback in Bookloader using Personal Voices recorded, please rename the Personal Voice in iOS settings.  This renews the categorization and Bookloader will be able to use it without problems.
