Orange Book: TV Ebook Reader

Turn your Android TV or Google TV into a big-screen ebook reader. Open EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3 and comic books, then sit back and read with your remote, or let the app read aloud to you.

Send books from your phone in seconds, pick up where you left off on any of your TVs, and keep your library private: your books live on your TV, not in the cloud.

Opens the books you already have
One app is your EPUB reader, PDF reader and comic reader:
• EPUB 2 and EPUB 3 (including kepub)
• PDF, with whole-page or fill-screen view and white-margin trimming
• MOBI, PRC, PDB, AZW and AZW3
• FB2 and FBZ
• DOCX, ODT, RTF, TXT, HTML and Markdown
• Comic books in CBZ and CBR
• JPG, PNG and WebP photos as Listening Room backgrounds

Send books from your phone
1. Sign in, open Add Books on your TV and a QR code appears.
2. Scan it with your phone's camera. A private upload page opens, with no app to install.
3. Choose one or more files. They arrive in seconds while the app is open on your TV.
Upload links expire after 5 minutes, and each file is deleted from the cloud as soon as your TV downloads it.

Read aloud with live highlighting
• Text-to-speech with the voices on your TV (on-device voices preferred)
• Follow each sentence and word as it is spoken, while pages turn on their own
• Choose the voice, speed and pitch, and set a sleep timer or stop at the end of the chapter
• Play and pause with your remote's media keys
• Listening Room: audiobook-style listening with 20 animated scenes such as Fireplace, Rain on Glass and Aurora, or your own photos, plus a text panel to read along

An ebook reader made for the big screen
• Page curl, slide, fade, vertical flip or continuous scroll
• Single page or a two-page open-book spread
• 8 page themes, from Paper and Sepia to Night and Black, with optional paper texture
• 12 fonts, including Literata, EB Garamond, Atkinson Hyperlegible and Lexend
• Text size, line spacing, margins, justification, hyphenation and paragraph style
• In-app brightness and a warm night light that work on any TV
• Auto page turn and auto-scroll at the speed you choose

Your library, organised
• Continue Reading puts your current book one click away
• Shelves, filters, sorting and bulk edit
• Bookmarks, table of contents, full-text search and a progress scrubber
• Reading time left, learned from your own reading speed
• A daily reading goal and streaks

Profiles for everyone at home
• "Who's reading?" gives each person their own books, progress, bookmarks, goals and settings (up to 5 profiles with Premium)
• Profiles work without an account, and each one can link its own account

Sync between your TVs
Sign in on more than one TV and your place follows you: open the same book file on another TV and it continues where you stopped. You can also see your library and progress on the website.

Accessibility
• Atkinson Hyperlegible and Lexend fonts and large text sizes
• Light and dark themes
• Reduce Motion and Reduce Transparency settings
• Built around the D-pad: Left and Right turn pages, OK opens the menu, hold OK to bookmark

Free and Premium
• No ads, on either plan
• Free: 1 profile and 1 book
• Premium (monthly or yearly subscription): up to 5 profiles and up to 50 books on your TV, one subscription for every profile. Cancel any time in Google Play

Private by design
• An account is only used to send books from your phone and to sync your place between TVs
• Your account holds your email address and the reading progress it syncs (book title, author, format, chapter, position and TV name)
• No ads, and no analytics or tracking of our own
• Works offline once your books are on the TV
• Delete your account at any time: orange-book-reader-tv.web.app/delete-account

Good to know: DRM-protected books can't be opened, RAR5 CBR comics need converting to CBZ, and scanned (image-only) PDFs can be viewed but not read aloud. Made for Android TV and Google TV with Android 8.0 or later.
