## What is BookPlayer?

Read your eBooks. Listen to them. Switch whenever you want.

BookMate is an EPUB reader with a built-in listening mode — giving you a seamless hybrid reading and listening experience. Start reading, switch to audio, pick back up right where you left off. However you absorb content best, BookMate fits around it.

WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT

• Hybrid read & listen — switch between reading and listening mode at any time, without losing your place.
• Paragraph highlighting — the current section stays highlighted as audio plays, so you always follow along.
• Natural-sounding voices — speech that actually sounds human, not robotic.
• Completely private — everything runs on your device. Nothing sent to the cloud.
• Works offline — no internet needed, ever.
• EPUB format — import DRM(Digital Rights Management)-free EPUB eBook and get started instantly.
• English only — currently supports US and British English accents.

WHY YOU'LL USE IT

Commuting? Switch to listen mode. Back at your desk? Pick up reading right where you left off. The same book, two ways to experience it — always in sync.
