Import an EPUB or download free public-domain books, then use built-in AI assistance when you want help catching up, following characters, asking questions, or creating visual interpretations from the text. Use ReadCaddy to get chapter recaps, review character context, ask open-ended questions, explain highlighted passages, and create images or short videos from selected scenes. Features include: * Chapter recaps for the current chapter, earlier chapters, or the book so far * Support for novels, short story collections, anthologies, and textbooks in EPUB format * Character context across chapters * Open-ended questions about the book * Character portraits based on text details * Images from selected scenes * Explanations for highlighted text * Short videos from highlighted passages * Night-friendly reading settings ReadCaddy works best with EPUB books.
