## What is JetReader?

JetReader mainly does two things: helps you get books from your Calibre library onto your device, and gives you a highly customizable eReader for reading them.

Connect directly to a Calibre Content Server, use JetReader as a Calibre Wireless Device, or browse Calibre libraries stored in Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or WebDAV services such as Nextcloud and ownCloud. Download books manually, or let JetReader keep your library up to date automatically in the background. Performance is a major focus, and JetReader has been tested with libraries containing 100,000 books.

Your books can be browsed with flexible search and advanced filtering. Ratings and reading statuses can also be sent back to Calibre automatically.

When you start reading, JetReader keeps your reading progress, bookmarks, annotations, dictionary lookups and statistics synchronized between your devices. You can highlight or underline text, add comments, copy selections, or send text to other apps.

For unfamiliar words, use the built-in dictionary, open a compatible dictionary app, or ask for an AI explanation tailored to the context of the book you're reading.

JetReader also tracks your reading habits and turns them into useful and fun statistics and visualizations on your device, which you can also share with friends if you want to.

One of JetReader's main goals is to be as customizable as possible. You can choose what information is shown while reading, configure touch behaviour and shortcuts, and adjust colors, fonts and other reading settings to suit you.

JetReader is designed with eReaders in mind. High-contrast themes, automatic image color adjustments and other eInk optimizations help make reading comfortable on eInk screens.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2026.10.30 — 2026-11-01

This is mostly a bugfix update. Thanks to everybody submitting bug reports! Also, I added automatic theme switching and optional eye-rest reminders. Details here: https://jetreader.net/updates

### 2026.10.21 — 2026-10-23

Added a new custom scrollbar in the library browser that shows letters/other relevant data to give you a quick way of scrolling to the correct place. The app can now connect to Calibre-Web and Calibre-Web Automated, and book sources can be synced faster with the new quick sync option. I have also improved how books with multiple formats are handled, and added translations to five new languages.
