Keep your eyes still. Let the words glide beneath them. Glide Reader reimagines how reading an ebook can feel. Instead of scanning back and forth across a page, or repeatedly scrolling through blocks of text, the words move smoothly beneath your gaze in one continuous horizontal flow. Simply tap and hold to start reading. Move your finger to the right to accelerate, or move left to slow down. You have precise, intuitive control over your reading rhythm. ADD EBOOKS TO YOUR LIBRARY Import your own EPUB, TXT, HTML, and text-based PDF files. Browse chapters, continue where you left off and track your progress. (EPUB provides the best reading experience. Complex HTML and PDF layouts may not always be reproduced exactly correct. DRM-protected ebook files purchased in other apps are not supported.) USE YOUR OWN STYLE β€’ Choose from carefully selected reading fonts β€’ Adjust text size and brightness β€’ Read with White, Paper, Sepia, Night, or Black OLED themes β€’ Position the text at a comfortable height β€’ Use stepped paragraph transitions to preserve paragraph structure β€’ Reverse the glide controls if that feels more natural FOLLOW YOUR PROGRESS See your chapter progress, reading time, words read, average reading speed, and estimated time remaining. As Glide Reader learns your actual reading pace, its time estimates become more personal. FOCUS WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS Focus Mode gently fades away the toolbar and reading statistics while the text is moving. A simple tap brings everything back whenever you need it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your imported books and reading progress remain on your device. No account is required. Terms of service: https://www.arcanamedia.nl/glidereader/privacy
