Loremate is a calm e-book reader with an AI companion that helps you understand what you read. Add your own EPUB books, read them in a clean full-screen page, and when a sentence, a name or an idea needs explaining, select it and ask. The answer opens in a half-sheet, so the page stays in view. READING • Full-screen pages. The bars hide while you read; tap the middle of the page to bring them back. • Real covers on your shelf, taken from your books. • Continue reading: one tap back to the page where you stopped. • Paper, Sepia and Night page colours, and a dark mode for the whole app. • Literata, a typeface made for long reading on screens, or your book's own font. • Adjustable text size. Your place is kept when you change it. • Contents and bookmarks for every book. • Your library, reading position and bookmarks are saved to your account and follow you to your other iPhone or iPad. AI COMPANION • It knows the book you're reading. Ask about characters, places and events, and it answers from the book itself, only up to your page: no spoilers, unless you turn them on. • Answers point to the chapter they come from; tap to jump there. • Select any passage and ask: what a term means, why something matters. • Get a passage explained in simpler words, translated into your language, or summarized. • Coming back after a few days? Get a quick recap of where you left off, or a summary of the current chapter. • Tap "Explain image" to ask about an illustration, map or chart in your book. • Finish a book and test yourself with a 6-question quiz (free). • Try it free: 5 questions per book. YOUR READING • Free classics in the in-app Store: add one to your library in a tap. • Reading time, streak and books finished at a glance. • A yearly book goal, a daily reading plan and a monthly challenge with badges. • An optional evening reminder to keep your streak going. • Share a favourite passage as a beautiful quote card.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Loremate at none against PDF Reader's shown. Loremate also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
