Eluna Reader vs deReader

No subscription. No ads. No account. No AI. Eluna Reader opens almost any book or document — over 20 formats — and keeps every page, note and bookmark on your own device. Most reading apps rent you your own library. Eluna never does: reading is free, the only purchase is a one-time tip that unlocks nothing, and anything you write stays yours. READS 20+ FORMATS EPUB (2 & 3), FB2, FB3, MOBI, AZW3, PRC, PDF, DjVu, DOC, DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT, Markdown, HTML, CHM, UMD and comics (CBZ, CBR, CBT) — even books inside ZIP archives. One shelf for novels, manga, manhwa, textbooks and PDFs alike. READ-ALOUD & REAL PAGE NUMBERS Listen to any book with the built-in read-aloud voice, the current sentence highlighted as it speaks. See real page numbers — "page 128 of 512" — not just a percentage, in a status bar you assemble yourself. TYPESET IT YOUR WAY Paged mode with slide, fade and 3D page-turn animations, or a smooth continuous scroll. Portrait or landscape, two-page spread on a tablet. 5 bundled fonts including OpenDyslexic, or import your own TTF/OTF. Fractional font size, four independent margins, line and paragraph spacing, hyphenation. Keep the publisher's own CSS, or force your own styling on top. NOTES THAT LEAVE THE APP Highlight in many colors, tag notes with hashtags, pin and group them into a second brain. Export the whole library to Markdown, Obsidian, Readwise, JSON or CSV — and import it back. Your annotations belong to you, not to a database. SYNC WITHOUT AN ACCOUNT Reading position, highlights, notes and reading statistics stay in step across iPhone and iPad through your own iCloud — encrypted end to end, no server, no sign-up. Speak KOReader's sync protocol (KOSync) or point it at your own WebDAV folder to plug into Kavita, Komga or Calibre-Web. FIND ANYTHING Full-text search across every book, inside PDF pages, and through all of your notes at once. On-device OCR reads scanned PDFs so even they become searchable — nothing is ever uploaded. BUILT FOR LONG READING Automatic day and night, sepia, OLED-black and e-ink themes. Blue-light filter, on-screen reading ruler, brightness control and auto-scroll. Remap tap zones, swipes and the volume keys. Dictionary and translation on any word — strictly opt-in. Browse OPDS catalogs and your own servers. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Works fully offline. No trackers, no telemetry, and no AI trained on your books. Optional Face ID / Touch ID lock and screenshot protection. Every connection the app can make is listed on a single screen. 61 LANGUAGES, 63 BADGES The whole app is translated into 61 languages. Reading statistics, daily streaks and 63 achievement badges keep the habit going. Eluna Reader — a power reader that respects your library and your privacy.

deReader is a private, local-first book reader built for people who want a calm place to read, collect, and return to their books. It starts with EPUB support, but deReader is not meant to be just an EPUB app. The long-term direction is a full reading engine: one that can grow across book formats, better typography, richer layouts, durable notes, reliable progress, and a library experience that respects the reader. • Private by design Your reading life is personal. deReader is built around a local-first reading flow, so your books, progress, bookmarks, highlights, notes, collections, and reading preferences stay on your device in the current version. • No account required You can start reading without creating a deReader account. The local reading experience is simple, direct, and under your control. • Sources for discovering books deReader includes a Sources area so you can find books from reader-friendly catalogs instead of searching through scattered files. Browse public-domain and open catalogs such as Project Gutenberg and Standard Ebooks, view available book details, then add supported editions to your library. Sources help deReader keep useful metadata connected to each book, including title, author, language, cover, description, source name, and available formats when provided. • Reading features deReader includes the core tools readers expect: • Import supported book files from Files or other apps • Download supported books from built-in Sources • Save reading progress automatically • Continue reading from your last position • Mark books as unread, reading, or finished • Add bookmarks to important locations • Highlight passages you want to keep • Write and edit notes for selected text • Review highlights and bookmarks from reader panels • View book details, covers, metadata, and source information • Adjust font, size, spacing, margins, alignment, background, and text color • Read in a muted, focused interface designed to stay out of the way • A real reading engine Good reading is more than opening a file. A reader needs structure, layout, typography, progress, navigation, selection, highlights, bookmarks, and notes to work together reliably. deReader is built around a native reading engine that parses book content, prepares structure, computes page layouts, and renders reading pages directly in the app. The goal is to make reading feel stable and trustworthy: • Pages should be readable and predictable • Progress should remain meaningful • Bookmarks should return to the right place • Highlights should stay attached to the intended text • Notes should remain durable across reading sessions • Appearance changes should preserve the reader’s sense of place • The interface should support long reading, not distract from it • Built to grow deReader begins with EPUB because it is one of the most important open book formats, but the engine is being designed with a broader future in mind. Future growth may include stronger support for real-world books, richer formatting, complex layouts, additional reading modes, improved source catalogs, stronger library organization, and broader format support. • Why deReader exists Digital reading should feel quiet, private, and durable. Your library should not feel temporary. Your notes should not feel fragile. Your progress should not disappear. deReader is made for people who care about reading as a long-term habit: classics, essays, research, personal collections, public-domain literature, study reading, and books that deserve attention. deReader will continue to improve carefully, with a focus on privacy, reading quality, source support, engine reliability, and a library that stays in the reader’s hands.
