Widget Reader is a quiet, local-first ebook reader for the books you already own. Import a file, settle into a distraction-free page, or listen with offline Read Aloud. No account, no online bookstore, and no ads. READ FROM YOUR HOME SCREEN Put your current book in a small, medium, or large Home Screen widget. Move to the previous or next passage right from the widget, then open the app whenever you want the full page. Use Synced progress to keep one reading position, or Separate progress for quick reading that never moves your place in the app. BRING YOUR OWN BOOKS Import DRM-free EPUB, TXT, text-based PDF, MOBI/AZW, Markdown, HTML, and FB2 files from your device. Add multiple books at once, keep them in a clean library, and choose a two-column, three-column, or list layout. Rename a book locally and return to the exact place where you stopped. LISTEN, EVEN OFFLINE Turn your ebooks into a personal listening library with system voices installed on your device. Read Aloud highlights the current sentence and follows along automatically. Adjust playback from 0.5x to 2.0x, choose a voice, set a sleep timer, and continue listening in the background with Lock Screen and headphone controls. MAKE EVERY PAGE YOURS • Choose your font and text size• Adjust spacing, margins, indentation, and alignment• Switch between comfortable reading themes• Read by tap, swipe, scroll, or page curl• Save bookmarks, highlights, and notes• Review highlights and notes in one place• Track reading time, days, and progress PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Your imported books, reading positions, bookmarks, highlights, notes, and preferences stay on your device by default.

Notes: Supported ebooks must be DRM-free. PDFs must contain extractable text; scanned PDFs and OCR are not supported. Keep your original files, because local content may not be recoverable after the app is deleted or its data is cleared.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: OnePage at every 2 weeks against Widget Reader's monthly. Widget Reader's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
