NovelGlide: EPUB Reader

NovelGlide is a clean, privacy-first EPUB reader for your phone and tablet.

Bring your own EPUB books, or discover free public-domain classics from built-in catalogs — then read the way you like: adjustable fonts and themes, dark mode, highlights, and bookmarks.

WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Read EPUB e-books in a smooth, distraction-free reader
• Listen with read-aloud (text-to-speech) — keep playing with the screen off, and control it from the lock screen
• Read along with a book's own recorded narration, when the EPUB includes it
• Add books straight from other apps with the share sheet
• Vertical writing for Chinese & Japanese, with furigana, Zhuyin (注音), and pinyin ruby
• Tap any Chinese or Japanese word for an instant dictionary lookup
• Save words to a vocab library as you read, review them later, and export to Anki
• Translate a selection in the reader, with offline language packs
• Two-page spread on a tablet or in landscape
• Sync your library across devices with Google Drive
• Find free public-domain books in-app, or connect your own OPDS server (Calibre, Kavita)
• Highlights, bookmarks, in-book search, and collections to organize your library
• Dark mode and adjustable typography for comfortable reading

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account required to read your own books. NovelGlide is free — no forced subscription, no ads.

NovelGlide reads EPUB files. Read-aloud uses your device's synthesized voice; recorded narration plays only for EPUBs that include it.
