Timebound EPUB Reader vs 書房

Timebound is a focused reader for your own DRM-free EPUBs — and a library of thousands of free classics to fill it. Import the books you already have — from Files, iCloud Drive, or AirDrop — and read them in a calm, page-turning view built for long stretches. Or browse the built-in Project Gutenberg catalog and download complete, public-domain classics — Austen, Melville, Shelley, and thousands more — free and yours to keep. • Browse and search thousands of free public-domain books, and download them in a tap • Adjustable typography: font, size, margins, and line spacing • Light, sepia, and dark reading themes • Table of contents and tap-to-resume — always back to your exact place • A tidy library with cover, list, and grid views • See your place as a percent, a book-wide position, or a chapter page No store, no accounts, no DRM — just a nicer place to read the books that are already yours. Books in the catalog are provided by Project Gutenberg (gutenberg.org). Timebound is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Project Gutenberg. Catalog browsing relies on Project Gutenberg's public service and may be unavailable at times or change in a future update; the reader and your own imported books always work regardless.

書房 is an ad-free reader where you decide the sources: novels, comics and web feeds on one shelf. The app ships with no sites built in. It does not recommend, index, or link to any content source — it understands whatever page you paste, and nothing else. ■ Paste one link and it works the site out Paste the URL of a book page into your Library. If the site has no source yet, 書房 derives the book / contents / chapter URL patterns, creates the source and adds the book; if it cannot, it tells you why. To look before you save, preview the title and the opening of chapter one from Sources instead. Feeds are added by pasting an address too. ■ Download whole books, read offline Take the whole novel, or tick just the arc you are reading; comics store their images episode by episode. Read in flight mode, in dead zones, anywhere. ■ Built for long reading sessions Any Chinese typeface on the device, independent text size, line and paragraph spacing, and a background of your own — a colour, a gradient, or a photograph. A book from a simplified source can be read in traditional, and the other way round. Your position is remembered down to the paragraph. When your eyes are tired, a system voice can read to you, with the screen locked if you like. ■ No ads, and nothing collected No ads, no in-app purchases, no account, no sign-up, no analytics. What you read and where you stopped never goes to any server; bookmarks and progress sync between your devices over your own iCloud. — 書房 does not provide, host, or index any content. Everything comes from URLs you enter yourself, the same way a browser does. Please make sure the sites you visit comply with your local laws and with those sites' own terms of use.
