Reader

Mini player, built in.

Listening to the same book you're reading? The mini player in the EPUB reader recognises it and shows you playback controls.

  • Playback controls — play, pause, and skip without leaving the page.
  • Quick access — themes, highlights, bookmarks, and go to page, one tap away.
  • Stays out of the way — dismiss it and keep reading.

Web pages

Save a webpage or a short story as an ePub.

Paste a link and Reverie turns the page into a proper book — article text and images kept, a title and cover set, ready to read like anything else in your library.

  • Keeps the article — text and images, cleaned up for reading.
  • Title, author, cover — edit any of them before it's saved.
  • Generated covers — no image on the page? Reverie can make one.
  • Saved to Books — reads exactly like any other ePub.
