## What is Papery?

Papery turns a PDF into a book you can leaf through like paper. It is built for scanned reference books and vocabulary books.

FREE
• A bookshelf with reading progress, and every open book as a tab
• Search inside scanned books: pages are read on your device
• Select, copy, look up and translate the words on a page
• Pen, highlighter and text notes, saved inside the PDF itself
• Finger holds, thumb-index tabs and dog-ears
• Contents, overview grid, go to page, zoom, full-screen reading, light and dark
• Reading statistics

PAPER: ONE-TIME PURCHASE, FREE FOR 14 DAYS
• Pages that bend and rustle as they turn, in four kinds of paper
• Riffle through the book, or leaf through it by hand
• Previews from the page edges, and every jump flips through the pages
• Wear on the pages you read most, and paper colors
Without Paper, pages turn at once, silently, on white paper. Everything else stays free. Buy Paper once for all your devices; Family Sharing is included.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account, no tracking, no data collected. Your marks live inside your PDF, so they travel with the file through iCloud Drive or anywhere else.
