SoundPage vs PillowBook Reader

Finish the books you keep putting off. Your next chapter can fit into more of your day. Import your own EPUB, TXT, or text-based PDF into SoundPage. Read when you want to see the words, and listen when you want to keep going. YOUR BOOKS, YOUR CHOICE Bring the books you own into one personal library. Choose your next read and enjoy it at your pace. START FROM THE PAGE Read aloud from your current position or selected text. Switch between reading and listening as you continue with the same book. CHOOSE A VOICE AND PACE Preview voices before choosing one, and adjust the reading speed to suit you. FEWER DISTRACTIONS No account. No ads. Your books and reading data stay on your device. Once your files and chosen voice are available locally, you can read and listen offline. Bring your own DRM-free, reflowable EPUB, TXT, or text-based PDF. SoundPage reads imported text aloud; a prerecorded audiobook catalog is not included. Scanned and encrypted PDFs are not supported. Some system voices and iCloud files need to be downloaded first.
