Foliant — Book Reader

Foliant is a reader for people who read a lot, and for a long time. Books are typeset by its own engine, so a page looks the way a typesetter would set it — not like a web page.

LIKE PRINT
• Hyphenation and justified text — without rivers of spaces.
• Footnotes at the bottom of the page, as in a printed book. A long footnote continues on the next page.
• Images, tables and poems keep the look the book gives them.
• Lines are never cut by the screen edge: a page holds only whole lines.

TURN PAGES YOUR WAY
• Tap, swipe or use the volume buttons.
• Page turn effects: page peel or slide. Or none at all.
• Scroll reading with auto-scroll — change the speed on the go.
• Adjust brightness with a gesture at the screen edge.

SERIES AND SHELVES
• Books of a series gather on their own shelf, in order.
• Finished a volume? The next one is already prepared — it opens with a page turn, no trip back to the library.
• Your own shelves, “read” marks, ratings and thoughts about a book.
• Recently added books wait at the top of the library.

EVERYTHING AT HAND
• Table of contents with progress by chapter.
• Bookmarks, quotes and notes tied to a place in the book.
• Search in a book and across the whole library.
• Translate a selection and look words up in the system dictionary.

MAKE IT YOURS
• Fonts, size, line spacing, margins and indents.
• Paper to choose from: rice, brown, beach sand, snow, night and more — with texture or a solid color.
• Reading indicator at the top or bottom: chapter, pages, clock.
• Give any book its own settings.

BOOKS FROM ANYWHERE
• Add books from Files, via Share (several at once) or from zip archives.
• Book covers appear right in the Files app.
• OPDS catalogs and WebDAV servers.
• Sync your reading position with KOReader and other readers via KOSync.
• “Continue reading” widget on the Home Screen.

NO TRACKING
No ads, analytics or sign-up. Your books and notes stay on your device; the app only connects to servers you add yourself.
