Dream Library vs Apogee Reader

Dream Library turns a spark, mood, or genre into a novel written around you. Create, read, and listen in one personal library—or bring supported books you confirm you have the rights to process. CREATE A NOVEL AROUND YOU - Start with a prompt, then shape mood, genre, setting, and pace through a short interview - Skip the interview when you want to be surprised - Review and refine the story blueprint before drafting begins - Follow progress as each chapter is written - Choose the story length that fits your plan or one-time pass READ YOUR WAY - Read with theme, font size, and line spacing controls - Bookmark passages and search inside chapters - Keep your place and continue with a cached chapter if your connection drops - Organize generated and imported titles in your library BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS - Import EPUB, text-based PDF, DOCX, or TXT files up to 50 MB - Check the extracted title, author, language, chapters, and opening text - Upload only files you own or have permission to process - Encrypted or DRM-protected files and scanned PDFs are not supported - Imported books cannot be published to Discover or Marketplace; only audio you explicitly share is available through an expiring unlisted link LISTEN AND SHARE - Create audiobooks for eligible books in your library - Play, pause, and follow progress in the in-app audiobook player - Share eligible imported audiobooks with unlisted 1-, 7-, or 30-day links - Revoke an active listening link whenever you choose - Imported books require rights and processing confirmations before audio creation; every listening link requires sharing-rights confirmation DISCOVER AND REMIX Browse community-published stories by genre, save books you want to read, and remix eligible ideas into your own version.

Apogee is a native iOS reader for a BookOrbit server you run yourself. Your books stay on your own machine, and there's no account to make beyond the one on your own server. It reads what your library holds: • Ebooks. EPUB and MOBI, with your choice of font, theme, margins and page flow. You can add your own font files from the Files app. • Audiobooks. Chapters, a sleep timer, playback speed, CarPlay and Lock Screen controls. • Comics. CBZ, CBR and CB7, in paged or webtoon mode. • PDFs, cropped to the text so the margins don't waste your screen. Read & Listen joins a book to its audiobook. Read a chapter on the train, then play the audiobook in the car and it starts where you stopped reading. While it plays, the sentence being read shows on screen. Your place is kept for every book and sent back to your server, so you can put the phone down and pick up on another device. It uses the same progress format as KOReader, so a Kindle running KOReader and this app stay in step. Your reading time goes to your server's reading log too, and on BookOrbit 3.0 and later it's marked as reading, listening or Read Aloud. Download a book and it works with no network at all. Your library, your place, your notes and your highlights are all there offline. It also does: • Highlights and notes, searchable, and synced to your server. • Sign in with your password, or with the sign-in provider your server uses. • Send a book from the Files app to your server's library. • Send books to a CrossPoint e-ink reader on your Wi-Fi. • Reading Stats, from your server's reading log. • Spotlight, so your books turn up in search from the home screen. • A widget for whatever you're part way through. • Read Aloud, using the voices already on your phone. • Series grouping, collections, and a filing rule for right-to-left manga. • Fanfic Updates, if you want it: sign in to Archive of Our Own and Apogee checks the works you follow and brings new chapters into your library. Apogee is an unofficial app, not made or endorsed by AO3 or the Organization for Transformative Works. • iPad layouts, not a stretched phone app. • Guides for every feature at apogeereader.app. Apogee talks to your server. It talks to AO3 only if you sign in to Fanfic Updates, and your audiobook notes sync through your own iCloud account. Nothing comes to me unless you choose to send it. Apogee needs a BookOrbit server to be useful. It isn't a shop. It doesn't sell, supply or recommend books. It reads the library you already have. Apogee is built by one person. It's free, with no ads, no in-app purchases and no tracking.
