Reading is the one thing your phone never made fun. Book Eating Dog fixes that. Open a book and a pixel dog trots along the line you are reading, eating each word as it goes. Important words turn into candy, so steer the dog into them. Distracting ones turn into bombs, so tap to jump. Finish a page and the whole thing has been devoured. WHY IT WORKS - The dog sets the pace, so you stop re-reading the same sentence. - Your eyes track a moving target instead of drifting off the page. - Key terms are highlighted automatically, so the words that matter get your attention first. READ WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE - Import PDF, EPUB, Word (.docx), Markdown and plain text. - Share a document or a web page from any other app straight into Book Eating Dog and start reading immediately. - Files are parsed on your device and stay on your own bookshelf. IT READS OUT LOUD Every line is spoken as the dog walks it, at a speed solved to match the walk, so the voice and the game never drift apart. Change the pace whenever you like and the narration follows. A LIBRARY, INCLUDED Outside mainland China, dozens of complete public-domain books ship with the app in English and Chinese. Full texts, not samples. Read them offline, right now, without an account. BUILT FOR FOCUS - No ads, no account, no tracking. - Works entirely offline. - Chunky pixel art and crisp retro sound. - Bilingual interface: English and Simplified Chinese. Feed the dog.
