## What is Textra?

Textra is a reader for the text novels and EPUB books you keep on your iPhone and iPad, with the feel of a paper book.

No need to import one by one
· Add a folder from the Files app (On My iPhone or iCloud Drive) and every txt, epub, zip and 7z file inside shows up right away.
· Books are read where they are. Nothing is moved or copied.

Archives, as they are
· Open zip and 7z files like folders and read the books inside.
· Nothing is ever created in your original folder.
· For archives with several volumes, Textra remembers which volume you were on and where.

Turn pages like a book
· Choose page curl, slide, no animation or vertical scroll.
· At the last page, the next volume in the same folder opens for you.
· Jump anywhere with the table of contents and the slider.
· See where you are with page numbers such as "page 12 / 345".

Made for long web novels and old text files
· Automatically detects UTF-8 and UTF-16, plus legacy encodings: Korean CP949, Japanese Shift_JIS, and Chinese GB18030 and Big5.
· Download free fonts, or import your own ttf and otf fonts.
· Adjust text size, line spacing, paragraph spacing and margins.
· Seven themes (white, sepia, green, gray, navy, dark, black) and automatic dark mode.
· The app itself is available in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese.

Find, mark and listen
· Search words or lines across the whole book and jump straight to the page.
· Leave bookmarks and come back to them from the list.
· Rest your eyes and listen with read aloud.
· Read hands-free with auto page turn and auto scroll.
· Join lines that were broken mid-sentence back into paragraphs.
· Change how the tap zones turn pages.

iPad and widget
· Turn your iPad sideways for a two-page spread.
· Continue your current book straight from the Home Screen widget.

Pick up where you left off
· Your reading position is saved automatically.
· It follows you between your iPhone and iPad on the same Apple Account through iCloud.

Textra collects no data. Reading positions are stored only in your own iCloud.
