Make room for your own books. CozyReader brings your personal ebooks, reading and listening into one place. Import a book, settle into the page, or let a supported local voice read it aloud. BRING YOUR OWN READING Import DRM-free EPUB and TXT files. Paste text, scan printed text or select images to recognize text on your device. You can also paste a public article link and save its text after reviewing it. READ AND LISTEN IN ONE PLACE Start listening from selected text or the page you are reading. Follow the text as narration moves forward, then return to reading. Your reading and listening positions are saved so you can continue later. MAKE THE PAGE COMFORTABLE Adjust text size, line spacing, page margins and reading colors. Choose paginated reading or scrolling. Tap the page to hide the controls and focus on your book. KEEP WHAT MATTERS Highlight a passage, write a note, add a bookmark or copy and share selected text. Find notes inside each book or together in your reading journal. Export your notes when you need them. LISTEN YOUR WAY Choose from supported Apple voices and built-in local voice models. Change playback speed, use a sleep timer, and control playback from the Lock Screen. Local voice support currently focuses on English and Chinese; available voices and performance depend on your device and selected engine. BUILD A READING ROUTINE Set a daily reading goal and an annual book goal. See your reading and listening time, recent activity and books in progress. LOCAL BY DEFAULT Your imported books, notes, progress and generated local audio are stored on your device. Core reading and supported local narration do not need an account.

Some webpages cannot be imported. Narration quality, preparation time and language support vary by voice. The app interface supports English, Simplified Chinese, German, Spanish, Japanese, Russian, Korean and French.
