/ About /

Reader Alive is an iOS app that lets users read EPUB, PDF, MOBI, and AZW3 ebook files in a single unified library on iPhone and iPad. It offers AI-powered features including passage translation, natural text-to-speech, chapter summaries, and book-aware chat grounded in the text being read. The app supports iCloud sync across Apple devices and is designed for readers who import their own personal ebook files.

/ How it works /

Users import their own EPUB, PDF, MOBI, or AZW3 files into the app, which then provides AI features—translation, text-to-speech, chapter summaries, and book-aware Q&A—while keeping the reading context intact.

/ Who it's for /

readers, language learners, researchers, and students who import their own ebook files on iPhone and iPad
