AirReader vs Emaki

Your files, ready to read. AirReader opens ZIP, CBZ, and PDF files without adding them to a separate in-app library or asking you to extract them first. Choose a file from iCloud Drive, a compatible cloud service, local storage, or an external drive and start reading. Light on storage Archive contents are kept only while you read, then cleared when you close the book. There is no duplicate library to manage, and you can clear temporary files at any time. Made for focused reading - Single-page reading on iPhone and adaptive two-page spreads in landscape on iPad - Right-to-left navigation for manga and left-to-right navigation for books - Automatic resume for every file - Hardware keyboard page turning - No ads while you read AirReader is free to use. An ad may appear after you close a book and return to the file browser, never in the middle of your reading.

Emaki is an iPhone and iPad reader for comics, images, and PDFs you manage yourself. Open files from an SMB share, a location selected in Files, or on your device without reorganizing your existing folders. Free version and one-time unlock Download for free and read the first 20 pages of each archive, PDF, or image folder. A non-consumable In-App Purchase removes the reading limit. No monthly fees. Photos library, videos, connections, and bookshelf browsing are free. This purchase unlocks app functionality, not books or third-party content.

Continue on another device Turn on Sync Across Devices in Settings to sync viewing history (last page and display settings), favorites, and bookmarks between your iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the same Apple Account through iCloud. Books are matched by connection, path, and file name, so open them from the same NAS or cloud location on each device. Book files and sign-in details are not synced. Speech bubble translation Tap the speech bubble button while reading to recognize the text in speech bubbles and show the translation inside them. Recognition and translation run on your device with Apple's frameworks, and images and text are never sent anywhere. Translations are machine-generated, and handwritten text or sound effects may not be recognized. Before purchase, you can try it on the first 20 pages of each book. Support Emaki is developed and maintained by Piktoo Studio, an independent developer. For questions or bug reports, write to support@piktoo.com in English or Japanese. We read every message and reply in turn. One purchase, no subscription. Privacy No Emaki account, ads, usage analytics, or tracking. Reading history and connection details are stored on your device. When Sync Across Devices is on, viewing history, favorites, and bookmarks are stored in your iCloud and are not sent to the developer's servers. Komga integration syncs reading progress to the server you specify. Purchases and restoration use Apple In-App Purchase. The web bookshelf does not import purchased files or bypass DRM. It opens links you added in the provider's app or website.
