About this app

ReaderNext is one calm, private app for everything you read: your books, PDFs, documents, comics and saved articles. Read them beautifully, or listen with your phone's own voices: offline, unlimited, no account.

READ ANYTHING
• Pick a folder and new books in it are added by themselves
• E-books in EPUB (including fixed-layout picture books), MOBI and AZW3 (without copy protection) and FB2
• PDFs as pages, or as reflowed text you can resize and listen to — even scanned PDFs, whose text is recognised on your phone
• Word documents (DOCX), RTF, plain text, Markdown and HTML
• Comics (CBZ) with fit-to-width, zoom, right-to-left manga, two-page spreads and a vertical strip mode

READ BEAUTIFULLY
• A native reader with real typography: justification, hyphenation, even line spacing, the book's own fonts or yours
• Page turns or continuous scrolling, hands-free auto-scroll, Light, Sepia and Dark themes, adjustable size, spacing and margins
• Contents, bookmarks, footnote pop-ups, search across the whole book — or inside every book in your library

LISTEN, OFFLINE AND UNLIMITED
• Any book, document or article read aloud with the offline voices on your phone
• Follow along with the sentence highlighted, and the page turning by itself
• Pick a voice, speed and pitch per book; pick up again from your headphones

HIGHLIGHTS, NOTES AND LOOKUP
• Press and hold to highlight, add notes and tags; export to Markdown
• Translate a passage offline, look words up in dictionaries you add (StarDict format) or in your dictionary app
• Your words: every word you look up is kept with its sentence, to review or export for flashcards
• Share a quote as text or as an image card

EASIER READING
• Works with TalkBack and large text
• Easier-reading spacing, Focus words that guide your eyes along the line, and a reading ruler (Pro)

SAVE ARTICLES FOR LATER
• Share a link from any app to save it, cleaned up and stored offline
• Tags, archive, search; import your saved links from other read-later services' export files

YOURS TO KEEP
• Your library lives on your phone, not on a server that can be switched off
• Back up your library, places and notes to a single file
• Pro: a sync folder you choose (on your phone or in your cloud drive app) keeps places, bookmarks and notes in step across your devices — no account

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your books never leave your phone. Text recognition, translation and AI run on the phone. ReaderNext only goes online to fetch pages you save, to download the language and AI models you use, to send an AI answer you choose to report, for Google Play purchases, and (free version) for ads from Google AdMob, with the consent choices your region requires.

READERNEXT PRO
Background listening with lock-screen and headphone controls, sleep timer, word-by-word highlight, Up next queue, pronunciation dictionary, all highlight colours, the Notes hub and exports to CSV, JSON and HTML, reading stats, goals and widgets, the Black theme, your own colours and fonts, reading aids, the sync folder, on-device AI that summarises a chapter, explains a passage or answers your question about it on phones that support it, saving a chapter as audio — and no ads. Monthly, yearly (with a 7-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Lifetime means lifetime: pay once, keep it forever. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled anytime in Google Play. Some Pro features can be used once by watching a short video ad, when one is available.

Not supported: books copy-protected by their store (DRM), DjVu, and RAR or 7-Zip comic archives.
