## What is Sona Reader?

Sọna is a reading platform for people who love to read.

Buy and read books from a growing collection of African and international authors, or import your own EPUB library and read it right alongside your Sona books. Read online or offline—your books, bookmarks, highlights, and notes sync across all your devices.

Your own imports now sync across devices. Choose your preferred storage option when you import, and the same book, the same page, the same highlights follow you from phone to tablet.

- Track reading with yearly goals and daily streaks
- Organise your library into collections, and keep a wishlist for what's next
- Follow your favourite authors and see who you follow, anytime
- Read comfortably in light, dark, and black modes
- Discover new releases, trending titles, and free reads
- eARC Hub: request advance copies from authors, read early, leave reviews—all from your phone

Whether you're building a library, chasing a reading goal, or reviewing advance copies for authors you follow, Sọna keeps it in one place.
