Page Vault Reader is a private, local reader for EPUBs, PDFs, and scanned documents. Import your own books, research papers, manuals, guides, and scanned files, then keep them in one clean library. Imported files, library data, and reading progress stay on this device. There is no account, no cloud sync, and no document upload by default. For scanned PDFs and image-only pages, OCR can turn hard-to-use pages into readable text. Page Vault Reader does not provide or distribute copyrighted books. Imported files are for your own reading and document management.
