Marginalia — Smart Reader

Marginalia is a reading app for people who mark up their books. Highlight a sentence and it stays on that sentence. Change the type size, switch the typeface, turn the phone — the mark does not drift, because Marginalia remembers your place as the words themselves rather than as a number that stops meaning anything the moment the page is re-cut. WHAT IT DOES • Reads EPUB and PDF. Add books from Files, iCloud Drive, Mail, or anywhere else on your phone. • Seventy-three books to start with, free and complete — Frankenstein, Alice, Dorian Gray, The Great Gatsby, Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, and seventy more. • Highlight in four colours and write notes against any passage. • Reads aloud, and keeps reading with the screen locked — following the words with an underline as it goes. • Search the whole book and land on the passage, not on a page number. • Set the page the way you like it: size, typeface, line spacing, margins, and justified or ragged. • The book's own table of contents, wherever the book provides one. • Ask about a passage, or the book so far. Answers come only from pages you have already read, so nothing ahead of you is spoiled. (Needs a free Marginalia account.) YOUR BOOKS STAY YOURS You do not need an account to read. Your books, your highlights and your notes live on your device, and a book file is never uploaded. Sign in with a Marginalia account only if you want more: your highlights, notes and place in each book on your other devices, and the reading assistant. No ads, no tracking, and nothing is sold.
