OutaStory vs Prose Reader

OutaStory is a home for long-form fiction — fantasy, sci-fi, romance, mystery, literary fiction, and everything in between — written by a community of authors and read one chapter at a time. The iPhone app is built for the way people actually read on a phone: one-handed, portable, patient with a small screen. The reader paginates automatically, remembers your position across devices, and gets out of the way of the prose.
