BookHoard vs Hardcover

BookHoard catalogs the books you own, and now it reads them too. A READER FOR BOOKS NO ONECAN TAKE BACK Import the DRM-free EPUBs you already bought, one file or a whole folder, and read them right here. Your type size, your place, kept across every device you own. The files stay on your device; we never upload your books. Or open The Trove: hundreds of public-domain classics, free to read and yours to keep. No account wall, no borrowing queue, no expiry. Kindle and Audible files will not open. Not our choice, and not something we can engineer around. Those files are locked to Amazon's apps by design. A book you cannot move is a book you are renting. THE BANNED TAB Search a live index of 20,000+ challenged U.S. books. See how many of them are already on your own shelves, which states pulled them, and which school districts filed it. Share the count. CATALOG AT THE SPEED YOU COLLECT Scan a barcode. Done. It's in your library in seconds. Want to add a whole shelf at once? Photograph it. BookHoard reads the spines and adds every book. Built for readers who already own too many books and finally want to start owning them on purpose.

Hardcover - Reader is a private, local-first reader built for a library you control. Import supported comic and ebook files, organize titles into collections, and continue reading across long chapters. Download authorized material for offline reading where supported. The app starts with no content catalog or repository. Advanced users may manually connect a compatible HTTPS repository they choose. Before installing a plug-in, the app displays its developer, content rating, and requested network hosts. Repositories are never bundled, recommended, or installed automatically. Automatic updates for already-installed extensions can be managed in Settings; updates requesting new permissions require review. Features include: • A fast library with collections, search, sorting, and unread counts • Continuous vertical and paged comic reading, with pinch and double-tap zoom • A dedicated text-novel reader with adjustable typography and spacing • Passage highlights and notes • Foreground read-aloud with adjustable speed and a sleep timer • Previous- and next-chapter navigation and Continue Reading • Save titles and choose collections directly from the reader • CBZ, PDF, DRM-free comic and text EPUB, and supported backup import • Manual backup and restore • Optional iCloud Sync for your library, collections, reading progress, history, highlights, and notes • Source troubleshooting with manual checks and preview-first diagnostic sharing • Optional app lock and Spotlight integration • A one-time Remove Ads purchase No Hardcover account is required.
