Features in Detail

Reading EPUB Files

The primary function of our app is to provide a seamless reading experience for EPUB files. The reader interface is designed to be intuitive, with easy navigation and customization options.

Bookmarks

Bookmarks allow you to save your reading progress. You can add a bookmark with a single click and access it later from the bookmarks menu. This is particularly useful for readers who like to read multiple books simultaneously.

Highlights

Highlighting text is a great way to save memorable quotes or important passages. The app lets you highlight any text within an EPUB file, and all your highlights are saved for future reference.

Tags

Tags provide an additional layer of organization. You can tag your bookmarks and highlights with keywords, making it easy to categorize and find them later. For example, you could use tags like "Quotes," "Important," or "Favorite."

Folders

Organize your digital library by grouping books into folders. This feature is ideal for users with extensive collections, allowing you to create categories like "Fiction," "Non-Fiction," "Science," and more.

Upcoming Social Features

In Stage 2, we plan to introduce social features that will transform the EPUB Book Reader App into a community platform. Users will be able to share their favorite books, rate and review reads, and discover new books through community recommendations.

Current Progress

We are actively working on the core reading features listed above. Our development team is focused on ensuring these features are robust and user-friendly. Regular updates will be provided to keep the community informed about our progress.
