## 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

### 4/5 — 反馈问题

*2026-10-12*

3.0.1最新版本 AI语音无法播放 只能播放本地和系统语音

**Developer response:** 已经提交了一个紧急修复版3.1.0还在审核，另外也支持了API输入，可以自己提供文字转语音的AI服务商

### 5/5 — 换行阅读会有卡顿

*2026-10-11*

换行阅读，不流畅，短语会有卡顿！望改善！！！

**Developer response:** 可以进群录个屏帮我们复现问题 ，有助于快速解决

### 5/5 — 需要一个自定义或者按名称啥的排序功能

*2026-09-26*

角标的解释内容是直接写在段落下面的，可以优化一下做个单独的弹出页面。最好加个一键导入导出分组书籍方便整理。书的几列几行排布啥的也能设置就好了，书架分类整理页面设计也是很重要。阅读节奏记录啥的可以看情况加不加。

### 5/5 — 很好的软件，只是mac端操作不太灵敏

*2026-09-24*

如果想用鼠标翻下一页，是没反应，还是会突然弹出AI朗读，还是过一会到下一页基本随缘。。有没有考虑为mac端增加个上下翻页的按钮

**Developer response:** 这个点击一下翻页，双击是指定位置朗读

### 5/5 — 听下架书专用

*2026-09-21*

一些下架的书用这个软件听不错

### 5/5 — 总体不错

*2026-09-13*

字体大小现在的几档不够，可以细化些，还有自定义字体之类的，AI听书效果不错，如果有多角色阅读和多音字指定就更赞了，定时关闭时长自定义，全文替换过滤可以考虑加一下

**Developer response:** 自定义倒计时关闭和字体更丝滑变化都做了，文字是发给服务商处理的多音字这个做不到

### 5/5 — 希望支持更多的背景颜色及背景

*2026-09-10*

目前的几种太单调了

**Developer response:** 已经支持了更多的背景色和纹理图片背景哈

### 5/5 — 听书生意挺自然的

*2026-09-03*

眼睛不舒服听一下书挺好的

### 1/5 — 一堆bug

*2026-08-29*

好意思收费

**Developer response:** 请下载2.0全新升级的版本哦，稳定性大大增强

### 5/5 — 这个朗读声音已经接近真人了

*2026-08-27*

睡觉前听个小说是一天中最快乐的事情
