Most people don't struggle to want to read, they struggle to keep going. A wall of text feels mentally heavy before you even start. Attention drifts mid-paragraph and you lose your place. Reading on a phone feels cramped and exhausting. And so the book you meant to finish sits unread. Readloom simplifies the page and guides you through it, so you can finally finish what you started. Chunk Reading — Daunting paragraphs are simplified into bite-sized lines or even individual words, making it easier to follow and finish. Trace Reading — One word lights up at a time while the rest stay dim, guiding your eyes forward. Anchor — Leading letters are bolded, making it easier to recognize words faster. Your library — Import any EPUB and pick up where you left off. Themes — Six themes and five fonts so every page feels like yours. Start the book you've been putting off and finish it today! You can import the first book for free. Importing subsequent books after that requires Premium.
