## What is Island Reader?

Turn your own EPUB, PDF, and TXT files into a private library you can read, listen to, and annotate across iPhone, iPad, and Mac.

Island Reader keeps long-form reading moving when your eyes or hands are busy. Import the files you already have, listen with natural voices, follow each sentence, and continue from your latest position on another Apple device.

KEY FEATURES

• Import EPUB, PDF, and TXT from Files, or transfer books over your local Wi-Fi network
• Choose natural AI voices or system voices, get language-aware recommendations, adjust speed, set a sleep timer, and follow sentence-by-sentence highlighting
• Personalize themes, text size, spacing, margins, light or dark appearance, and reading navigation
• Group and pin books, search your library, edit titles and covers, and share original files
• Search inside books, add bookmarks, highlight passages, and write notes
• Use iCloud to sync supported settings, groups, book information, reading progress, bookmarks, highlights, and notes
• Keep books private: imported files stay on your devices, are not uploaded to our servers, and are not synced through iCloud

你这也没修复啊，回复完算修复啊

**Developer response:** 感谢反馈，根因是切换付费自然语音时，旧的云端合成请求和系统语音回调没有及时失效，导致旧声音重新插入、双声并播或跳句。1.5.0已经修复了该问题，再次感谢付费支持还帮我们找到一个严重的bug😁

**Developer response:** 我们的产品开发原则是天上修飞机，快速失败，快速获取反馈，快速改进产品，不会拖到一个完美的时刻再发布，拖延会把所有的好事变成坏事
