CrossPort vs Leaf

CrossPort is an EPUB reader built for long books: real two-page spreads, a page curl you can feel, natural voices that read to you, and a recap of the story so far when you come back. It also pairs with e-ink readers running CrossPoint, so your place follows you between phone and reader.

Import the DRM-free books you already own, make yourself comfortable, and pick up where you left off. READ YOUR WAY Choose from carefully selected fonts, including accessibility-friendly options.

On iPad, choose one column, two columns, or an automatic layout that adapts to the space available. Customize the reader's header and footer to keep the book and progress details you care about in view. KEEP THE PLACES THAT MATTER Save bookmarks as you read and return to them from the book's contents. See the surrounding text to remind yourself why you saved a place. With Leaf Pro, add personal notes to your bookmarks.
