## What is Dexxicon Reader?

Dexxicon Reader is a client for your own BookOrbit or Grimmory (BookLore) library server — not an app store or bookstore. Point it at your server, sign in, and your whole library is with you.

READ EVERYTHING
• EPUB novels with adjustable fonts, themes, and page layout
• PDFs and comics (CBZ/CBR), including a two-page spread view on iPad
• Audiobooks with lock-screen and Control Center playback controls

YOUR LIBRARY, EVERYWHERE
• Reading position, bookmarks, and highlights sync automatically with your server — pick up an EPUB on your phone exactly where you left off on your tablet
• Reading status (Reading, On Hold, Read, and more) stays in sync with your server's own web app
• Optional KOReader sync support for reading progress shared with a KOReader device

WORKS OFFLINE
• Download books for offline reading — no connection needed once they're on your device

SIGN IN YOUR WAY
• Native username/password login, or single sign-on (OIDC/SSO) if your server has it configured

BUILT FOR PHONE AND TABLET
• A real adaptive layout, not a stretched phone screen — Library and Book Detail use the extra space on iPad, and the comic reader supports a genuine two-page spread on wider screens

Dexxicon Reader supports both major self-hosted library platforms:
• BookOrbit
• Grimmory (BookLore)

You'll need your own server running one of these — Dexxicon Reader is the reading app, not the library itself.
