Классика больше не стоит на полке. В DaBookNet «Анна Каренина», «Преступление и наказание», «Отцы и дети» и ещё семь великих книг становятся перепиской: рассказчик и герои пишут тебе сообщения, а реплики главного героя отправляешь ты. КНИГА КАК ЧАТ • Каждая книга — отдельный чат. Открой несколько и читай, как переписываешься. • Герои пишут с индикатором «печатает…», у каждого свой цвет и аватар. • Реплики главного героя набираются по касанию и уходят от твоего имени. • Полный оригинальный текст, без сокращений. ИЛИ ЛИСТАЙ, КАК НАСТОЯЩУЮ КНИГУ • Режим «Книга»: страницы с выравниванием и русскими переносами, буквица и капитель в начале главы. • «Чат | Книга» переключается на месте, место чтения не теряется. • Светлая, сепия и ночная темы, размер шрифта, закладки жестом, оглавление и поиск. ПАМЯТЬ ЧИТАТЕЛЯ • Вернулся после перерыва — «Ранее в книге» напомнит, что было, без спойлеров. • Кто есть кто: карточка героя по долгому нажатию на реплику. • Сноски по касанию: перевод иностранных фраз прямо в тексте. ПРИВЫЧКА БЕЗ НАСИЛИЯ • Начни с двух минут в день — порция растёт вместе с серией. • Затравка из книги приходит уведомлением в удобное время. • Серия дней и заморозка, если пропустил день. APPLE WATCH • Читай главу прямо на часах — даже без телефона рядом. • Листай щипком, Колёсиком или свайпом, выбирай тему и размер. • Виджет на циферблате: затравка, серия и процент книги. В БИБЛИОТЕКЕ «Преступление и наказание», «Анна Каренина», «Вишнёвый сад», «Белые ночи», «Мёртвые души», «Шинель», «Евгений Онегин», «Отцы и дети», «Нос», «Палата № 6». Без рекламы и регистрации. Прогресс хранится на устройстве и синхронизируется через твой iCloud.
