Book Garden Duo
Read full descriptionHide full description
Designed for iPhone Duo. Open it like a book: the page on one side, the story's world on the other. Book Garden Duo launches with 26 world-class classics, including Peter Pan, Treasure Island, The Count of Monte Cristo, Dracula and The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. Read, listen, and discover a world beside every page. DESIGNED FOR IPHONE DUO • Open: the page and its world side by side, either side of the fold. • Folded on your nightstand: a quiet bedside clock that reads you to sleep. • Closed: keep reading on the outer display. Every pose and orientation is supported. Book Garden Duo also works beautifully on iPhone and iPad. READ WITH A CAST OF VOICES Listen to character narration while the passage being read lights up on the page. The books use AI-generated narration with distinct voices for characters. Choose your listening pace, or settle into two-page reading. A WORLD BESIDE THE PAGE Discover the people you have met, follow the journey, and turn objects from the story in 3D. Your companion follows how far you have read, helping you explore without jumping ahead. FEEL THE STORY'S MOOD Atmosphere is on from the first page: the painting, the light, rain, a distant storm and the sounds of the book follow the story, a little quieter while it is read aloud. Turn any part of it off in Settings. RETURN TO THE STORY An automatic recap welcomes you back after a break. Revisit where you left off, catch up with the story so far, and read on. LET A STORY READ YOU TO SLEEP Fold iPhone Duo on your nightstand, or set any iPhone or iPad beside the bed. Choose candlelight or another mood, set when the reading should stop, and let the voice ease into the night. Make the page your own with reading and listening settings, and download books and narration to keep them with you. A world beside every page.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: LAB at none against Book Garden Duo's shown. LAB also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 21 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
