About this app

• Scanned PDFs become selectable, searchable text with on-device recognition
• Web articles, saved straight from your browser's Share menu
• A book-like page with adjustable type, margins, line spacing and themes
• Warm night mode for late reading, and a paper mode tuned for e-ink style contrast
• Bookmarks, highlights in several colours, notes, a chapter list and search inside the book
