## What is Shelf Reader?

Shelf is a reading app for the DRM-free ebooks, manga and comics you already own. There is no store and no account. You bring the files, and Shelf puts them on a shelf and opens them on a good page.

TWO ROOMS
Books and Manga each have their own room on Home, with their own library and collections. Any title can move to the other room from its menu. A PDF moved to Manga reads like a comic, right to left.

BRING YOUR OWN FILES
Import EPUB, PDF, CBZ and CBR files from Files. DRM-free MOBI and AZW3 books are converted to EPUB as they import. Shelf doesn't open DRM-protected books.

If you use Calibre, Shelf can download books from your Calibre library while Calibre's Content server is running. It finds Calibre on your Wi-Fi, or at an address you enter, and downloads only the books you pick. It never changes your Calibre library.

YOUR OWN ICLOUD DRIVE
Choose to keep books on all your devices and Shelf saves its copy in iCloud Drive › Shelf, a plain folder you can open in Files or in Finder on a Mac. Your iPhone and iPad then have the same books. The original file stays where it was.

PICK UP WHERE YOU STOPPED
Every title opens where you left it, offline too. With Sync on, your place, bookmarks, highlights and read marks go between your iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud. If a book is open when a newer place arrives, Shelf offers it instead of moving the page.

READING
• Books read page by page, or in one long scroll.
• Six page colours (Light, Sepia, Paper, Gray, Dark and Black), or Auto, which follows the library.
• The publisher's typeface or one of ten others, including Literata, Atkinson Hyperlegible and OpenDyslexic.
• Text size, line spacing, margins, paragraph spacing and justification.
• A table of contents, bookmarks, and EPUB highlights you can export as Markdown.
• Drag the progress bar to jump anywhere, with a preview of the chapter or page. After a jump, Back returns you to where you were.
• Comics read right to left or left to right.

YOUR LIBRARY
Sort by title, author or date added, search a room by title or author, and group titles into your own collections. Mark a book as read and it shows a finished badge on every device. Paint the library Light, Dark or Warm, or let it follow the system.

PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking. Your books never go to the developer. If you send feedback from the app, it carries your message, the tags you chose, the screen you were on, and the app, device and iOS versions, plus your email address if you choose to add one so I can reply. Nothing else.
