## What is CrossPort?

CrossPort is an EPUB reader built for long books: real two-page spreads, a page curl you can feel, natural voices that read to you, and a recap of the story so far when you come back. It also pairs with e-ink readers running CrossPoint, so your place follows you between phone and reader.

READING
• Paginated pages with page curl or slide, and two-page spreads in landscape
• Themes, fonts, and layout settings to make every book comfortable
• Bookmarks, contents, and a scrubber that shows the chapter as you drag, with undo for jumps
• Show progress as a percentage or as pages
• Import EPUBs from Files, AirDrop, or Share

READ ALOUD
• Listen to any book, with every word highlighted as it's spoken and pages that turn on their own
• Natural neural voices, including 17 PocketTTS voices, or make your own from a short recording
• Play from Here: select any sentence to start there
• Pronounce As: fix how a name or word is said, for one book or all of them
• Keeps playing in the background, with lock screen controls, and picks up where you stopped

PREVIOUSLY
• Coming back after a break? CrossPort recaps the story up to your place, using Apple Intelligence
• Only what you've already read is used, so recaps never spoil what's ahead

FIND BOOKS
• Browse Project Gutenberg, Calibre content servers, and other OPDS catalogs
• Book details with synopses, ratings, and page counts

PAIRS WITH YOUR E-INK READER
• Works with Xteink X4, X3, and other readers running CrossPoint or compatible firmware
• Reading position and bookmarks sync both ways between your phone and your reader
• Send books to your reader over WiFi, optimized for e-ink
• Make sleep screen wallpapers from your photos, previewed as they'll look on e-ink
• Browse, upload, rename, move, and delete files on your reader

MORE
• Home screen widget with your current book
• Siri and Shortcuts: continue reading, check your progress, or send a book to your reader

No e-ink reader needed. CrossPort works on its own as a reader on your iPhone. Recaps need an iPhone with Apple Intelligence. Some neural voices need iPhone 13 or later.
