## What is Jongigyeol?

Jongigyeol is a reading app with no ads.
No banners, no pop-ups, no video ads. When you read, there is only text.
Made for people who loved e-ink readers and now read on their phone.

Easy on the eyes
• The page is never brighter than the room around you, with less flicker in the dark
• Warm grey paper without blue glare, warmer after sunset
• Black & white mode for this app only
• Turn page by page with your choice of effect, or scroll straight down (trial)

Any file, fast
• TXT, EPUB and PDF
• Even books thousands of pages long open in about a second
• Link your Downloads folder once and new books appear right away
• Short sample texts to try straight away
• On iPad in landscape, two pages side by side like a book — PDFs too, with contents and search

While you read
• Highlights, notes, bookmarks and full-text search; tap a highlight to open its menu
• Long-press to select, drag the handles, and carry on onto the next page
• Dictionary and translation
• Read aloud with natural voices (10 free minutes a day)
• Choose what the page header and footer show: title, chapter, pages left, time left, percent, progress bar
• Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
• Export highlights and notes as text
• Literata, Charter and Korean book fonts — remembered separately for Korean and English books
• English, Korean and Japanese

Jongigyeol Pro — buy once, keep forever (not a subscription)
• Fine typesetting: line and paragraph spacing, letter spacing, margins, weight, alignment
• Different fonts, spacing and margins per book; save your own presets
• Unlimited read-aloud
• Unlimited highlights and notes (free: unlimited in your first book, then 3 per book)
• Add your own fonts (.ttf, .otf)
• Every paper tone
• iPhone–iPad sync through your own iCloud: position, highlights, notes, bookmarks and book files (no sign-up)
