PlainReader is a native reader for Mac, iPad, and iPhone, built for people who read several books at once — a technical manual beside a novel beside a textbook — and want keeping them in order to take no effort at all.
One picture explains it: JustReader is the book on your nightstand, ContinuousReader is the library — and PlainReader is the bookshelf between them.
EVERY BOOK HAS ITS OWN PLACE
The shelf is big: a thousand books, and each one carefully keeps its bookmarks, notes and reading position. Don't hold back. On Mac and iPad the list sits beside the text; on iPhone it is the app's main screen.
THE APP REMEMBERS WHAT MATTERS
Take a book off the shelf and bring it back a month later, and everything is where you left off. A history of your last 25 books reopens any of them at the same paragraph.
A READING EXPERIENCE YOU CONTROL
The same reading engine as our ContinuousReader: EPUB, FB2, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, Markdown, HTML, TXT and RTF, including inside ZIP and RAR archives; manga and comics as two-page spreads; Chinese and Japanese books with furigana; nine typefaces and 41 themes across five palettes plus Typewriter and Terminal; continuous scroll, paged, or two-page spread; real hyphenation in Latin, Cyrillic, CJK, Arabic, and Greek; Read Aloud with word-by-word highlighting; on-device translation; full reading statistics.
BOOKS FROM ANYWHERE
Import by file, link, or drag and drop — or browse OPDS catalogs (Standard Ebooks, Project Gutenberg, Feedbooks, or your own) with per-catalog shortcuts.
A BOOKSHELF, NOT A LIBRARY
Managing your shelf is as simple as it gets: drag to reorder, color-code a book. For a full library — folders, collection-wide search, iCloud sync, mass import — there is our ContinuousReader; for a single book on the nightstand there is our free JustReader. PlainReader is the shelf between them.
